Chelsea Team-Mate Insulted Cole Palmer After Scoring Hat-Trick Against Man Utd
Cole Palmer, a boyhood United fan, scored a penalty and completed a first senior hat-trick for Chelsea in the 99th and 101st minute during a thrilling Premier League clash against Manchester United. Despite United’s efforts, Palmer’s goals saw Chelsea secure a 3-2 victory. After the game, Palmer reflected on the unpredictability of the match and his emotions upon scoring.
Mauricio Pochettino, under-fire head coach of Chelsea, praised Palmer’s performance and mentality, emphasizing his ability to deal with the pressure, further solidifying his standing within the team. The victory allows Chelsea to climb to 10th place with 43 points, while Manchester United’s hopes for Champions League qualification are diminishing. Chelsea’s performance highlights Palmer’s potential as a top player, with Pochettino commending his consistent play in his debut season and his ability to handle pressure.
Erik ten Hag’s side, United, sit 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa with little hope of qualifying for the Champions League.
