Chelsea defender Levi Colwill sent a heartfelt message to Cole Palmer after the winger earned the Player of the Match award in the victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Blues fell two goals behind quickly when Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski both capitalised on Marc Cucurella slips. Jadon Sancho would spark the comeback on 17 minutes with an impressive effort.
Palmer bagged Chelsea's equaliser on the hour mark after Moises Caicedo was fouled and Enzo Fernandez completed the comeback with a fine strike. Palmer was then fouled with six minutes remaining and chipped the resulting penalty in to put the match beyond doubt.
Son Heung-min's stoppage time goal was merely a consolation as the Blues moved to within four points of leaders Liverpool at the top of the Premier League. Unsurprisingly, considering his two goals in the victory, Sky Sports announced that Palmer had been named Player of the Match with Colwill chosen to hand over the award.
As the defender turned to give Palmer his accolade, Colwill said: "Keep saving us." Since moving to Stamford Bridge in September 2023, Palmer has become Chelsea's key player and has been scoring and assisting for fun.
In just 61 appearances for the Blues, Palmer has already managed to bag 34 goals and 21 assists. Chelsea's next focus is on the Conference League where Palmer will not have another opportunity to score or assist.
The Blues chose not to register Palmer for the league phase of the competition in a bid to rest him for the Premier League. Palmer's next appearance will likely come on Sunday when his team host Brentford in the top flight.
