No guaranteed start for ‘magnificent’ Crespo
Crespo preserved Chelsea's 100% home record in the Premiership by volleying home a sublime Joe Cole cross in the 74th minute to complete a gripping 3-2 victory.
It was a stunning finish which easily eclipsed anything produced by his rival Didier Drogba, who came on in the 56th minute and only drew attention to himself when he squandered a simple late chance.
