Thirteen certainly isn't unlucky for some...
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey to reflect on the dramatic late 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
There was also FA Cup joy for the women's team against Palace - narrowly beating the Championship side 1-0 thanks to a glorious, audacious finish from Mayra Ramirez.
And you guessed it - a hat-trick of success against the Eagles as the under 18s booked their place in the quarter finals of the FA Youth cup with a 2-1 victory! Sorry Dom...
We'll be back on Thursday to look ahead to the completely undaunting prospect of a trip to the Etihad - and the potentially season-defining WSL clash between CFCW and Man City on Friday night.
