When asked first if he was a fan of United, he responded, “Yeah, I was a fan of United when I was growing up.” Palmer said, “I just think to try and do the same thing to each time,” in response to the question of if it provided him with any additional motivation. However, I’m ecstatic since I scored a few here and a few away today. Erik ten Hag responds to Manchester United’s stunning collapse in their 4-3 loss to Chelsea. “I just try to play football and show the Chelsea fans and everyone else what I came here to do, which is just take each game as it comes.” Then, TNT Sports released a vintage photo of Palmer as a little child sporting a red United shirt next to a blue Chelsea celebration photo from the previous evening.
Cole Palmer Marks Career Milestone with Spectacular Hat-Trιck as Chelsea Defeats Man United 4-3 Notably, Palmer’s winning goal for Chelsea, securing a 4-3 victory over Man United, was scored in the 11th minute of added time (90+11). It stands as the latest goal in Premier League history, adding significance to both Chelsea’s triumph and Palmer’s individual achievement.
Joining Chelsea from Manchester City last summer for a modest fee of £42 million, Palmer has emerged as a key figure in the team’s attacking line-up, shouldering responsibilities throughout the season. In the Premier League thus far, the 21-year-old has made 25 appearances, scoring 16 goals, and providing 8 assists. These impressive statistics speak volumes for a young player in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.
Despite Chelsea’s inconsistent performance, currently placing 10th in the league table, Palmer deserves praise and even stands a chance of winning the Player of the Season award if he maintains his exceptional form until the end of the campaign. On television, former Chelsea legend Joe Cole has hailed Palmer as the “best signing” of the Premier League this season.
