Cole Palmer shows true colours with perfect Chelsea message after Aston Villa win

Cole Palmer has issued a message after putting on another player of the match performance for Chelsea in the Premier League.

Sunday saw the Blues record a 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge, with Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez on the score sheet alongside Palmer.

The victory saw Chelsea move above Manchester City in the Premier League table following their defeat to leaders Liverpool later in the day, with Enzo Maresca's side now one point behind second-placed Arsenal and nine adrift of the Merseyside club at the table's summit.

Chelsea will now prepare for back-to-back away games in the Premier League as they face Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur over the next week.

Palmer's goal came from a long-range effort in the 83rd minute, which was Chelsea's third of the game to secure the three points against Villa. The England international has now scored eight goals in all competitions this season, and also got the assist for Fernandez's strike in the first half.

After the game, Palmer took to Instagram to send a message to the Chelsea fans. The Blues No.20 simply wrote five words, referencing his famous celebration that has become synonymous with the Chelsea star finding the back of the net.

"Cold one at the bridge," wrote Palmer on Instagram. The post has received more than 700,000 likes on the social media platform, as well as several comments from current and past Chelsea stars.

Levi Colwill commented on Palmer's post, writing: "As always." Nicolas Jackson also commented with two emojis, a cold face followed by a bicep.

Chelsea legend John Terry also left a comment on Palmer's post after the win over Villa, who he had a spell as assistant coach after his playing career came to an end. Terry left four emojis, including a cold face, a football, a blue heart and a fist.
