Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has criticised Chelsea midfielder Jorginho on Twitter.

Parish is not happy with Chelsea and Italy international midfielder Jorginho for making too many fouls in the Premier League game at Selhurst Park this afternoon.

Palace lost the London derby against Chelsea 2-1.

The Eagles took the lead in the seventh minute when Odsonne Edouard found the back of the net.

Former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea restored parity in the 38th minute through former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Then in the 90th minute, former Palace loanee Conor Gallagher scored for Chelsea to help the Blues to all three points from the encounter.

Now, while Chelsea won the London derby in the end, many would feel that that they should not have.

That’s because Aubameyang’s goal was controversial.

Brazilian central defender Thiago Silva set it up.

Many will question whether Thiago Silva should have stayed on the pitch as he appeared to handle the ball after falling to the ground to deny Jordan Ayew a possible goalscoring opportunity.

That incident occurred just after the half-hour mark.

Aubameyang scored just minutes later.
