“Enzo Fernandez just sent Munoz to Sainsbury’s and then to Tesco, what a goal,” posted one fan.
First, Fernandez cut back to leave Munoz tumbling onto his backside.
Then just as the Colombian scrambled up, the Argentine dummied to shoot – sending him to the ground once more.
It confirmed Chelsea’s 13th straight Prem victory over Palace.
The Eagles had led through Jefferson Lerma’s stunning opener.

The midfielder had Palace defender Daniel Munoz sliding to the floor TWICE before firing home to in the 3-1 away win.

Chelsea’s costliest buy, £115m Moises Caicedo, again struggled to justify his place alongside their second most expensive – £107m Fernandez.
But their fans lapped up the late treat from their World Cup winner, even if it was so painful for Munoz.
“Let’s stand up for Enzo Fernandez,” taunted one viewer.
