Conte hails vital win as Chelsea continue to chase top-four finish
Chelsea

CHELSEA manager Antonio Conte urged his players to keep up the pressure on top-four rivals Tottenham following this much-needed victory on Saturday night.

Willian scored his 13th goal of the season to put Chelsea on their way before an own-goal from Crystal Palace defender Martin Kelly before the interval looked to have put the game beyond the reach of the relegation-threatened Eagles.

Former Chelsea defender Patrick van Aanholt pulled one back late on for his side, but it wasn’t enough as Roy Hodgson’s men stayed in the relegation zone.
