Chelsea pair Oscar and Cesc Fabregas scored the decisive goals as Palace were beaten by Jose Mourinho's league leaders at Selhurst.

After the Brazilian had netted a superb free-kick early on, both sides went into the break with just 10 men after Cesar Azpilicueta and Damien Delaney were dismissed within three minutes of each other, but soon after the restart Fabregas capped a fine team goal to seal the victory, although Fraizer Campbell netted a consolation for the hosts with a minute to play .

eil Warnock's started really brightly and created a couple of dangerous moments within the first two minutes. A fine through-ball by Yannick Bolasie found Fraizer Campbell who forced Thibault Courtois off his line but the Palace striker couldn't find a way around the keeper, and then the two combined again when the winger crossed for Campbell but Azpilicueta managed to clear.

ISL: Mumbai City FC thrash FC Pune City 5-0 to register first win

Mumbai needed to rebound and rebound in a big way after their heavy defeat against Atletico de Kokata to open the tournament. Personnel changes were needed and rightly effected by coach Peter Reid and boy did they pay off! The first ‘Maha Derby’ was a no-contest as Mumbai pummelled Pune into submission in a 5-0 win at home at the D.Y. Patil Stadium.

It was obvious to everyone watching that Brazilian Andre Moritz made a significant difference after coming on as a substitute in the first game. His reward for his sprightly performance was a start in the ‘Maha Derby’. Tiago Ribeiro didn’t make way, rather found himself at left-back where he slotted in very well indeed and Subhash Singh started in place of the disappointing Diego Nadaya. Nadong Bhutia took the place of injured India international Syed Rahim Nabi.

Pune too made four changes Dudu coming in for Mathani, Wadoo in for Kwang Il Park, Gonzalez on for Gurung and Pritam Kotal on for Magliocchetti.

The countdown to @WrestleMania 31 is on.

WWE News & Notes 2014: Will WrestleMania 31 Feature The Rock, Hulk Hogan, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin & Sting?

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin has dispelled rumors that he is returning to the ring at WrestleMania 31,saying on "The Steve Austin Show" podcast that he has no desire to take the bumps that go with competing in the squared circle. Austin went on to say that he does not want to train for one more fight and that his "return" involved going back to working out at Gold's Gym. "The Rattlesnake" stated that while he could still "whoop" WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar in a bout, he has a pending project in February that would prevent him from competing at WrestleMania 31.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's name is also being linked to WrestleMania 31 after the promo he did with Triple H during the 15th anniversary show of Friday Night SmackDown. While The Rock and Triple H teased one more match against one another, The Rock versus Lesnar may still be in play, especially with Roman Reigns injured. Another match-up that may potentially occur is The Rock against Rusev, who he interrupted during his surprise visit on Monday Night Raw.

Despite the rampant dirt sheet rumors, The Rock did tell TMZ last Friday that he did not think he would be returning to the ring saying he didn't want to get hit in the mouth. The Rock also has various movie projects in the works, including "Shazam," in which he will play the "Black Adam" character, and the new "Baywatch" movie, which may prevent him from competing at WrestleMania 31 altogether.

Hulk Hogan is also rumored to be looking to compete atWrestleMania 31. Although Hogan has been very vocal about getting into the ring one last time, preferably against John Cena, he would still have to pass a physical before he can climb back into the ring. Sting, who has a merchandise deal with the company including being a part of the latest WWE 2K15 video game, is still in play, having expressed a desire to go one-on-one against either The Undertaker or Triple H. Despite all the chatter, Sting has yet to sign a contract to compete in an WWE at the moment.

Bray Wyatt has also expressed an interest in going up against "The Deadman," in a recent interview with the Miami Herald, should he come back for one more match at "the Grandest Stage of Them All."

"Bray Wyatt versus The Undertaker would be the greatest I could accomplish," said Wyatt. "Just being there side-by-side with him. I get the comparisons, but we are also very different. He is 'The Deadman.' He will always be 'The Deadman,' and I'm Bray Wyatt. When or if, or when we shall meet, it will be every bit of everything I thought it would be."

Wyatt seems to be moving away from teaming up with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, having recently "set them free" and may be paired up with former NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension, who are due to get the call up soon to the main roster.

Congrats to @RealPaigeWWE She's gonna be in #WWE2K15 DLC Season Pass..

From Paris to Roma: Rabiot is a great talent but he is no Paul Pogba

The young midfielder is on the verge of joining Roma, but he has already caused huge controversy in his short career after being frozen out at PSG By Robin BairnerFollowing a drawn-out saga that has lasted since the summer, Adrien Rabiot’s move from Paris Saint-Germain to Roma seems a formality. The only question is whether the transfer goes through in January or July. Rabiot, out of contract next summer, will go to the Stadio Olimpico as one of French football’s great hopes - yet he will depart his home nation with his reputation tarnished and with much to prove. For a 19-year-old, he is a remarkably complete player, yet his ability is matched by his ego. It is this attitude that has left him a virtual outcast at PSG, where he has not even appeared in the first-team squad this season. The situation is reminiscent of Paul Pogba’s at Manchester United. “Manchester United is a big club but you have to think about yourself,” Pogba told the BBC in June, claiming he was shown a lack of “respect” by former boss Alex Ferguson. “You have to play. The coach told me there would be space to play, but I wasn't playing.” When the Juventus star levered his way out of Old Trafford, he was but a precocious teenager with seven senior appearances under his belt. Rabiot is also 19 and appears to share similar gripes to his fellow central midfielder.

Back to 18th October 1997: Cadamarteri shines on Merseyside derby debut

Teenager Danny Cadamarteri scored one goal and made the other in his first Merseyside derby to give Everton victory over rivals Liverpool. Cadamarteri, in his first match since turning 18, took his goals total to four from six Barclays Premier League appearances since the start of the season and helped the Toffees climb out of the relegation zone. The victory followed a 4-1 midweek defeat in the League Cup at Coventry City and manager Howard Kendall said: "This was a totally different performance from the one at Coventry. "It's changed the mood in the club, was great for the fans and gives us something to build on." Liverpool had the best of the early chances with two created by Steve McManaman. The winger first crossed for Robbie Fowler, who scuffed his shot, and then for Karlheinz Riedle, who also missed the opportunity. At the other end Cadamarteri fired wide before Liverpool goalkeeper David James stopped a shot from John Oster and the follow-up from Duncan Ferguson. Everton took the lead shortly before half-time when Andy Hinchcliffe swung over a corner and Cadamarteri challenged James for the ball, which hit the goalkeeper's hand and deflected into the net off helpless defender Neil Ruddock for an own goal. Craig Short went close to doubling their lead after the break but James caught his header before Toffees 'keeper Neville Southall dived at the feet of McManaman. Everton looked the more dangerous in the closing stages and, after Oster had come close, Cadamarteri confirmed the victory when he robbed Bjorn Kvarme of the ball and ran on to slot it past James. Despite his scoring run and having a continued spell in the team, Cadamarteri did not score again for the rest of the season as Everton survived relegation on goal difference. Liverpool finished third, 12 points behind second-placed Manchester United and 13 back from Barclays Premier League champions Arsenal.

Bayern Munich - Werder Bremen Preview: Unbeaten Bavarians out to maintain momentum

Pep Guardiola's men scored 14 goals without reply in seven matches before the international break, so they will be confident of seeing off their struggling visitors ?Bayern Munich will look to extend their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season on Saturday when they entertain lowly Werder Bremen. Pep Guardiola's side have only dropped points in two of their opening seven matches and boast a 100 per cent record at the Allianz Arena. Prior to the international break Bayern scored 14 goals without reply in seven matches in all competitions, an ominous sign to a winless Werder side who have yet to keep a clean sheet this season. And Xabi Alonso believes the champions are only going to get better as the campaign goes on, with rock-bottom Werder the next target in their sights as they look to stretch their four-point lead at the top of the table. When you play for Bayern, you fight for everything, the Spain international said. Until now we have done it well. But we want to keep improving and, when it comes to the title, be at our peak in the second half [of the season]. The only chink in Bayern's armour that Werder may be able to exploit is the form of their Germany internationals, who have failed to win either of their games during the recent Euro 2016 qualifiers.

NorthEast United 0-2 Atletico de Kolkata: Atletico cement their place at the top

The Kolkata outfit continued their good form in Guwahati as they registered yet another victory in the ISL… Ten men Atletico de Kolkata registered a 2-0 victory over NorthEast United FC with Fikru Tefera and Jakub Podany on the score sheet in an Indian Super League (ISL) tie at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati. Borja Fernandez was given his marching orders in the 84th minute after picking his second booking of the tie. The Kolkata outfit top ISL standings with six points from their two outings. Ricki Herbert chose to make four changes from the side that beat Kerala Blasters. Surprisingly David Ngaihte made way for Boithang Haokip while Miguel Garcia and Robin Gurung were not part of the squad. Antonio Lopez Habas stuck to his guns as he named an unchanged side from the one that thumped Mumbai City 3-0. The wily Luis Garcia captained the side, playing just behind Fikru Tefera and Baljit Singh Sahni upfront. The Kolkata outfit started the better of the two as Borja Fernandez tried to pull off another blinder in the 8th minut. However, his speculative effort went straight to Alexandre Tzorvas in goal. It took  Habas’s men only fifteen minutes to open the scoring as Fikru Tefera made it two out of two. Luis Garcia showed great vision as he picked the ball off a misbalanced Milan Singh and  then scooped a pass towards Fikru unlocking the entire defense.
