62: CLOSE! Giroud heads over after a whipped delivery with interest from Willian. Chelsea upping the ante - it is remarkable that they have only scored twice here.
65: Conte must be frustrated that the Blues haven't put this game to bed. Another shaky moment in defence, seeing the ball gifted to Zaha in the Chelsea penalty area, will give cause for concern that this game may not be over. With Barcelona on the horizon, the Italian will want his side to kill this off quickly. Palace, meanwhile, have other ideas.
67: CLOSE AGAIN! Chelsea are cursed. They are not going to get a third goal. It has been decreed. Olivier Giroud must be wondering how on earth has he not scored. Denied by Tomkins earlier, and now it's the post which stands in his way. A pull-back finds the Frenchman, but from 10 yards out, the former Arsenal man can only find the woodwork. Conte is perplexed.
72: Olivier Giroud winces in pain at the sight of his number, held aloft by the fourth official. It just hasn't been his evening. On a different day he could have scored twice. But he is replaced by Alvaro Morata, as Conte seeks to put an end to this game as a contest.
75: Jairo Riedewald is coming on for Palace. He will replace an ineffective Jeffrey Schlupp.
80: Willian is certainly at the peak of his powers right now. Another stunning run forward culminates in a raking, curled, cross field pass towards Eden Hazard. Another standout display from the Brazilian, in a World Cup year. Tite take note.
