An excellent Diego Costa header was enough to secure Chelsea their 11th consecutive Premier League win over a defensive-minded Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.The Blues now have a commanding lead at the top of the league after another solid defensive performance and Diego Costas 13th goal of the season secured them their third 1-0 win in a row.Defensively, they looked solid and hard to break down, not giving their opponents any time on the ball, and Chelsea looked ever dangerous on the break due to the presence of Costa and Hazard. Cesc Fabregas continued his return to form with a virtuoso performance from the bench.The goal came just before halftime, when Costa lost Dann with a subtle bit of movement, and met Cesar Azpilicuetas sumptuous right-wing cross with a header back across Wayne Hennesseys goal from eight yards.Palace looked decent defensively, and actually had more possession than the visitors, but failed to make the most of it. Christian Benteke looked isolated up front, and there was very little movement around the striker. Wilfried Zaha was very quiet and the home side missed his direct, aggressive running. Despite getting plenty of balls into the box, they didnt win the second ball.Bournemouth are up next for the league leaders on Boxing Day, although they will be without Kante and Costa, who both picked up a booking today to earn them suspensions.For Palace, Watford are up next, and they will need to start picking up some points against the teams around them if they are to fight their way out of trouble.

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles had just completed a spirited comeback, and all that remained was for unfailing closer Zach Britton to seal the victory.It did not come easy.Tampa Bays Mike Mahtook was cut down at the plate trying to score from first base with two outs, and Baltimore topped the Rays 5-4 Friday night to stay in the middle of the AL playoff picture.It was the most exciting game that Ive played this year, rookie Hyun Soo Kim said, and I expect that theres more coming. So Ill enjoy every bit of it.The Orioles remained two games behind first-place Boston in the AL East and tied with Toronto for the two AL wild-card spots.J.J. Hardy and Michael Bourn came through with RBI in the eighth inning, and Pedro Alvarez and Chris Davis homered to help Baltimore rally from an early 4-0 deficit.It was 4-3 before the Orioles took the lead in the eighth against wild reliever Brad Boxberger (4-2).Two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases for Hardy, who tied it with an infield single. Bourn followed with a fly ball to left field, and pinch-runner Nolan Reimold easily scored as the throw was cut off.Brad Brach (9-3) worked the eighth and Britton escaped with his 44th save in 44 tries.With two outs in the ninth, Mahtook singled off the second base bag. Alexei Ramirez followed with a liner to left, and Mahtook wheeled toward home. The relay from Bourn to third baseman Manny Machado to catcher Matt Wieters easily beat him there.I knew it was going to be close, just based on the way Alexi hit the ball, Mahtook said. Left-field line, it wasnt like he had super long way to run for it. I was on the move, he made a good play, and they were able to get me.Evan Longoria hit his career-high 34th homer and Richie Shaffer also connected for the last-place Rays.Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer allowed three runs in 6 1/3 innings and struck out four to increase his AL-leading total to 221.

The right-hander gave up four runs over seven innings, striking out eight.Alvarez hit his 21st home run in the second and Davis delivered No. 38 in the fourth. Davis also struck out twice and has 201 for the year.Baltimores Mark Trumbo, the major league home run leader with 42, was sidelined with back spasms. It was only the second game hes missed this season.OUT IN LEFT FIELDBrad Miller usually plays shortstop or first base for the Rays. In an effort to gauge Millers versatility and add flexibility to the roster, Rays manager Kevin Cash started him in left field.It didnt take long for Miller to get noticed: The second Baltimore batter of the game hit a pop to left that glanced off Millers glove for an error.The glove was borrowed from Farquhar.TRAINERS ROOMRays: 1B Nick Franklin, who strained his hamstring on Thursday, was held from the game.
