Falcao’s first Chelsea goal was not enough to stop Crystal Palace leaving Stamford Bridge with all three points from this London derby.
The Colombian was brought on midway through the second half after Bakary Sako’s opener, and he found a way past a resolute Palace with a superb header from Pedro’s cross.
There were 10 minutes remaining at that point but the pendulum swung back in the visitors’ favour when Joel Ward headed in from close range almost immediately.
Twice Falcao came close to another response before the final whistle. In injury time Cesc Fabregas was also denied, his shot blocked as so many of our efforts over the course of the game had been. Before the break he and Diego Costa had gone close, and we should have had a penalty when Kurt Zouma’s shirt was pulled in the box.
