Crystal Palace played Daddy Pig and put the bacon on Chelsea’s toast as the Eagles trolled their London rivals on twitter after their shock win by using a scene from Peppa Pig, the British animated series which is a runaway hit among toddlers.
Crystal Palace stunned the runaway league leaders on Saturday with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge. It was only their fourth EPL defeat this season which left them on 69 points from 29 matches, though they still have a seven-point lead over second placed Tottenham Hotspur with nine games to go. Cesc Fabregas put Chelsea in the lead in the fifth minute at the Stamford Bridge Stadium. But Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke scored within two minutes of each other as Crystal Palace led 2-1 after just 11 minutes.
This was Chelsea first defeat in the league since losing to Arsenal in September last year after which Antonio Conte changed the formation to 3-4-3.
The eagles trolled the Premier League leaders with a video of the cartoon that was dubbed over by the commentary of Christian Benteke’s goal.
Benteke bagged the winner in the 11th minute when he latched onto Wilfried Zaha’s pass and found the back of the net beating Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois.
Crystal Palace posted a video on twitter with caption: “Unreal… Peppa Pig predicted @ChrisBenteke’s goal against @ChelseaFC.”
