Chelsea Manager Liam Rosenior Sees Red After Emotional Win Over Crystal Palace
Liam Rosenior has sent a clear message to Chelsea fans after a thrilling 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The win marked Chelsea's fifth Premier League game without an away win under the new manager, but it was a result that will give Rosenior and his team hope.
The match got off to a dramatic start when Jaydee Canvot made a crucial error, which Estevao Willian capitalized on, scoring the opening goal. Palace struggled to create chances, with Ismaïla Sarr's volley wide being one of the few notable opportunities they had.
However, it was Chelsea who took control of the game in the second half. Enzo Fernández sealed the win with a penalty after Canvot's arm made accidental contact with João Pedro's shot, which sparked controversy among Palace fans. The goal sparked wild celebrations from the Chelsea bench, but Rosenior's emotions were more subdued.
It was 17 games without a victory against Chelsea for Crystal Palace in all competitions, and their winless run now stands at 11 games in all competitions, despite their FA Cup success last season.
The hosts had a chance to level the score with Benoît Badiashile's error but couldn't capitalize on the opportunity. Palace fans did however have reason to celebrate when Chris Richards scored a late consolation for Palace. However, it was not enough as Chelsea held on for the win.
Chelsea will be relieved that England forward Cole Palmer is expected to return from injury in time for their Champions League game against Napoli on Wednesday.
For Rosenior, who has taken charge of the team after Enzo Maresca, it's been a welcome start to his tenure. He said that he hopes Chelsea fans are starting to accept him, but stressed that he needs to earn their trust over time. When asked if the win was a taste of what life on the road might be like for Chelsea under Rosenior, he seemed delighted and energized by the victory.
Crystal Palace's manager Oliver Glasner admitted that his team struggled with inexperience. Canvot showed his youth with a critical error which gave away the opening goal to Estevao Willian. The young defender had played only a handful of games for Toulouse before joining Crystal Palace in the summer, and it seems like he has yet to settle into life at Selhurst Park.
Glasner said that Palace are still learning and adapting to their new environment, but praised his players for sticking together despite the tough times. He also acknowledged the quality of Chelsea's team and said that they deserved the win.
In contrast, Rosenior was overjoyed with his team's performance. His side showed the qualities that have made them a formidable force in English football, and he must be thrilled to have found his footing at Selhurst Park.

17 games without a win away from home is insane but this win is def a morale booster for the squad 
and estevao willian's goal was EVERYTHING 
can't wait to see cole palmer back on the field soon 
. I know some people might say he's being too defensive, but honestly, I think that's just a sign of him being cautious and trying not to lose face 
. And let's be real, who can blame him? Chelsea is a tough team to beat! The fact that Rosenior was over the moon with his team's performance shows he's invested in them and wants to see them succeed 
. I'm definitely not expecting miracles just yet, but I think Rosenior has got this 
.
is really telling - he's clearly pleased but also knows how far they still have to go. The win was needed for Chelsea fans who were getting anxious about the team's form, and it'll give them hope that Rosenior can turn things around. I mean, 17 games without a win against Palace? That's a pretty big gap! 
But Rosenior's got to keep pushing and proving his team is on the right track. It won't be easy, but if they start showing signs of improvement like this, maybe we'll see some positives come out of it. 
️ I mean it literally, he got sent off for being too emotional after that win over Crystal Palace 
.
.
. They knew it was gonna be tough against Chelsea, and they got outplayed in all aspects. But hey, at least Chris Richards scored that late consolation 
.
They're still learning, right? And Canvot's mistake was huge... I don't blame Rosenior for losing it 
. Maybe this is the start of something special? And Cole Palmer's return from injury can't come soon enough 
they played so much better than their form would suggest. rosener seems like he's finally getting his tactics right and the team is responding nicely 
but seriously rosenior is on a roll now and the fact that they're starting to win away games gives me hope for the rest of the season! 17 games without a chelsea win in all comps is crazy for palace. i'm glad cole palmer is gonna be back soon tho 
also, liam rosenior getting emotional like that...yeah, good on him, but let's see how he handles the pressure before we start hailing him as a genius 
and what's with all these errors from canvot? young players making mistakes is normal, but it's still frustrating to watch 
Rosenior looks so relieved 
after getting that first win away from home - it's gonna boost morale for the squad 
I think Rosenior's on the right track, he just needs to keep getting wins like this under his belt 
and trust with the fans 
. Palace were the underdogs in that match, but they showed heart 
& determination 
. He's got some tough road ahead of him, but if he can keep this momentum going, who knows what the future holds? Maybe we'll see Chelsea back on top soon 
! Rosenior's reaction after that win over Crystal Palace was just pure joy 
. And let's be real, Chelsea's fans have been waiting a long time for some positive news 
. This win is just the boost they needed to keep believing 
!
but you gotta give credit to Rosenior he's got his team playing some top footy right now 
fernández's penalty save is a game changer 
and getting that confidence back 
️ liam seems really pleased with himself, and honestly who can blame him? 
2-1 is always a good result, especially when you're coming from behind like they did. estevao willian's goal was pure magic 
and i'm loving how he's embracing the fact that it took him a few games to find his groove 
. let's see this energy carry over into their next game against napoli!
