Cole Palmer was the star of the show for his Chelsea side once again against Tottenham in the Premier League.
The Blues were 2-0 down against Ange Postecoglou’s men after early mistakes from Marc Cucurella.
However, the England international Palmer inspired his side to a famous 4-3 win against their London rivals.
The former Manchester City man scored two goals and provided one assist against the North London club, ensuring three points for his side to keep them second in the Premier League.
One of the goals he scored was a cheeky Panenka penalty against goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
After the match, the Chelsea star explained why he decided to chip the Tottenham goalkeeper to score the penalty.
‘When I’ve stepped back looked at the clock and thought the game’s a bit frantic. The keeper was ready to dive so I chipped it,’ Palmer told Sky Sports, as reported by the Daily Mail.
‘I’m just trying to score and thankfully it went in,’ he added.
It was a statement win from Chelsea and once again it showed how much they have improved under the leadership of manager Enzo Maresca.
