Scott Dann was nowhere near Costa who timed his jump perfectly.

In a game where Palace had a slightly greater share of possession, Chelsea had more attempts on goal. But the game was decided in the 43rd minute when a cross came in from the right side and Costa leapt above Scott Dann and headed it into the net.

It was an archetypal goal for a centre-forward and it is the kind Morata seems to specialise in, having combined with Azpilicueta to hit many spectacular headers. Nevertheless, heading also seems to be a skill Diego Costa had in the bag.
