This was a late show and then some from Cole Palmer as the 21-year-old forward guided Chelsea to a dramatic 4-3 Premier League victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. With United holding a goal advantage heading into the 10th minute of additional time, Chelsea was awarded a late penalty after United defender Diogo Dalot fouled winger Noni Madueke. Palmer cooly stepped up to equalize, before his deflected strike two minutes later gave Chelsea a thrilling victory and stun United. According to Opta, Manchester United set a record for holding the latest lead in a Premier League game and still lose; it was 3-2 up game at 99 minutes and 17 seconds only to throw it away. The two late goals completed a hat-trick for Palmer and sparked wild Chelsea celebrations, with coaches – including manager Mauricio Pochettino – and substitutes all running onto the field in jubilation.
