🚨 Premier League: Chelsea thrash Palace, Aston Villa close in on City | OneFootball

The top teams did not disappoint.

The 23rd day of the Premier League continued this Sunday with a derby between Crystal Palace and Chelsea and a clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle.

This afternoon smiled on the Blues, who ruthlessly thrashed the Eagles with a score of 3-0. Liam Rosenior's protégés took advantage of a disastrous match by the young French defender Jaydee Canvot.

After a failed back pass leading to Estevao's opening goal (34th minute), the 19-year-old player then allowed Joao Pedro to score the second goal (50th minute), before ending his game by conceding a penalty with an unfortunate handball. Enzo Fernandez converted the penalty without hesitation (64th minute).

Reduced to 10 men after Adam Wharton's exclusion, Crystal Palace still managed to save face with a goal by Chris Richards.

With this victory, Chelsea temporarily takes fourth place ahead of Liverpool, while waiting for the Manchester United vs. Arsenal match at 5:30 PM.

On the other hand, Aston Villa continues to keep pace with Manchester City.

Playing away at Newcastle, Unai Emery's players relied on a beautiful goal by Emiliano Buendia (19th minute) and a score by Ollie Watkins (88th minute).

Thanks to this victory, Aston Villa catches up with Manchester City and is four points behind Arsenal.

Newcastle, however, remains stuck in the middle of the table and does not gain confidence before their trip to Paris for the Champions League.
