The most crucial month for Chelsea couldn't have begun with such a shocking result, as Antonio Conte's boys lost their second home match of the season against Crystal Palace.
Cesc Fabregas' opening goal was quickly cancelled by Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke, who managed to score in less than 120 seconds to give the Eagles a lead they wouldn't lose. Particularly, Benteke's goal stood out as a gem, given that he embarrassed Thibaut Courtois with a killer dribble.
Courtois is still looking for his waist after Benteke's control and stunning finish.
But even if the Blues are still top of the league, some fans can't get their head around one particular statistic.
Chelsea (4) have suffered more PL losses than Man United (3) this season.

And yes, Arsene Wenger was mentioned by some after today's shocking win for the Eagles...
Palace have done more in 11 minutes at the bridge than Arsenal have since 2011.
