Two Chelsea players – Marcos Alonso and Alvaro Morata – drew focus on themselves in the Palace game for questionable behaviour.
Alonso put his hands around the head of James Tomkins after the Palace defender was physical with Andreas Christensen.
The Spanish wing-back avoided a booking for his clash with Tomkins.

Later in the match, Spanish striker Alvaro Morata was lucky to avoid being sent off.
Morata was already on a yellow card before he got into a clash with the linesman.
In a moment of madness, Morata knocked the flag from out the linesman’s hand.

Chelsea are back in action in midweek when they take on Barcelona in the Camp Nou in the Champions League.
The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg three weeks ago.
