Chelsea fans loved what Willian did before Tammy Abraham scored against Crystal Palace

It took a while for Chelsea to break down an stubborn Crystal Palace side.

52 minutes to be exact as Tammy Abraham gave the Blues the lead with a simple finish for his 10th Premier League goal of the season.

But much of the credit must go to Willian.

Funnily enough, the attacking duo were involved in a nutmeg battle ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge .

Abraham managed to put the ball through the Brazil international's legs during a training session. Of course, Willian wasn't going to let that pass without retaliation.

Moments later he got Abraham back and whilst the Blues striker was complaining about getting nutmegged, Willian was pointing to the camera operator to ensure the moment was captured.

They managed to put those differences aside to combine for the opening goal, while Christian Pulisic made it 2-0 inside the final 10 minutes to send the Blues up to second in the table.

It was certainly a brilliant piece of play from the captain for the afternoon and fans were delighted with his assist.
