#4 Flop: Andros Townsend

Andros Townsend has been a clutch player for Crystal Palace on many previous occasions, especially against the big opposition. The 28-year-old is quick and has the ability to produce a moment of magic to win a game for his side. However, the Englishman looked out of sorts against Chelsea and was by far the worst player on the pitch. Townsend failed to manage even a single shot on target, created 0 chances and could manage just 1 cross into the box. Moreover, the attacker lost the possession more than any other player on the pitch. Townsend failed to justify his inclusion in the side against Chelsea and needs to step up his game.


#3 Hit: Willian

Willian was named the captain in the absence of Cesar Azpilicueta and he surely led his side by example on the pitch against Crystal Palace. The explosive winger looked lively throughout the game and caused the opposition defenders all sorts of problems, especially on the break. The Brazilian was the orchestrator for the Blues and created 5 chances during the 90 minutes, more than any other player on the pitch. He also grabbed an assist for Tammy Abraham's goal with a beautiful pass into the path of the striker.
