Cole Palmer’s star continues to rise after his stunning performance in Chelsea’s thrilling 4-3 comeback win over Tottenham. The 22-year-old playmaker delivered two crucial penalties, including a cheeky Panenka, to secure all three points for the Blues in a heated London derby.
Palmer’s coolness under pressure was on full display as his Panenka penalty wrong-footed Tottenham goalkeeper Fraser Forster, effectively sealing the win and silencing the home crowd. Despite enduring abuse and objects being thrown from the stands, Palmer kept his composure and delivered when it mattered most.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Palmer shared the thought process behind his audacious penalty technique:
“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,” he said.
The risky move paid off, and Palmer remained humble about the execution:
“I’m just trying to score and thankfully it went in.”
The young star’s confidence and creativity were crucial in Chelsea’s dramatic comeback, and his celebration after the second goal showed just how much it meant to him.
Palmer’s heroics not only earned him the Man of the Match title but also solidified his growing reputation as one of Chelsea’s most exciting talents. This performance against Spurs will live long in the memory of Chelsea fans, who will no doubt be singing Palmer’s name for weeks to come.
Keep dazzling, Cole, and keep the blue flag flying high!
