Cesc Fabregas scored his first league goal for Chelsea as the league leaders survived a late Crystal Palace fightback to maintain a five-point advantage over Manchester City.
Chelsea shrugged off the absence of top scorer Diego Costa to open the scoring with a 25-yard free-kick from Oscar.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Palace defender Damien Delaney were dismissed before Fabregas finished a fine passing move.
Fraizer Campbell's late goal provided a scare but Jose Mourinho's men held on.
