Crystal Palace fans unfurled an anti-Roman Abramovich banner as the Chelsea players strolled out at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
The Blues chief bought the club in 2003 and has spent hundreds of millions of pounds in the last decade, bringing an era of silverware to Stamford Bridge.
Since his arrival Chelsea have won three Premier League titles (2005, 2006, 2010), ending a run without league honours that stretched back exactly 50 years.
The club have also won four FA Cups, two League Cups, the Champions League and the Europa League in the years since Abramovich arrived at Stamford Bridge.
And before Chelsea's 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park, Palace fans took their chance to make their point to the Russian billionaire, whose money - they say - has 'plagued the game'.
A group of Eagles supporters in the Holmesdale Road Stand known as the 'Holmesdale Fanatics' unveiled a message which read: "Roman's dirty money is a disease that has plagued our game."
