Chelsea continued their superb winning spree on Saturday when they met Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.
Spanish striker, Diego Costa, notched his 13th league goal of the season as the Blues ensured they maintained their 11-game winning streak with a slim 1-0 margin.
As expected, Nigeria midfielder, Victor Moses, was in the thick of things for Antonio Conte’s side, who are pushing to end the year top of the league.
For Moses, it was an emotional return to Palace where he started his playing career as a 14-year-old.
The 26-year-old featured for 79 minutes before giving way for Branislav Ivanovic.
He immediately took to Twitter to applaud the performance of his team.
Tough game today but lads battled hard and buzzing with the win!Always good to go back to Selhurst Park. Great memories there for me ?? #CFC pic.twitter.com/b66mmJ8HPH

Meanwhile, ex-Chelsea midfielder, Emmanuel Petit, says Brazilian winger Willian is reducing the efficiency of Moses when it comes to taking up attacking positions.
“Moses wasn’t so good in the game, and that affected Chelsea going forward,” the former France international said after the encounter.
“He missed Pedro, his regular mate on the right wing. He is yet to truly understand how to link up with Willian who doesn’t offer much in defending like Pedro.
“Pedro is quick to close down opponents and that leaves Moses with few work to do defensively, so he can bomb forward when in possession but Willian is not that type, which means Moses has to do more defensively with him.”
Next up for Chelsea and Moses is a home tie with Bournemouth on Boxing Day.
