Cole Palmer got a special mention from the Chelsea fans on a crazy night against Tottenham.
Chelsea ended up securing a 4-1 win away to Spurs in the Premier League, but that only tells half the story.
It was a dramatic Monday evening in North London, with five disallowed goals and two red cards.
Cristian Romero was sent off for Spurs in the first half. Afterwards, the hosts went down to nine men when Destiny Udogie was shown a red card in the 55th minute.
Dejan Kulusevski’s early opener was cancelled out by a Cole Palmer spot-kick before the break. Eventually, Chelsea broke down nine men with a late Nicolas Jackson hat-trick, which in the process ended Spurs’ undefeated league run this season.
Chelsea get vital win
Spurs would’ve gone back to the top of the league table with a win tonight. They were certainly big pre-match favourites. However, Chelsea spoiled the party in great fashion.
It was a tough and anxious watch for supporters as the visitors tried to get their way past nine men, but Jackson finally timed his way past the offside trap to grab some much-needed goals.
Hopefully, Mauricio Pochettino’s side can kick on and take some serious momentum from this result.
They climb to 10th in the league standings with the win. Next, they host Manchester City at the weekend before the international break.
Cole Palmer dazzles again
Palmer converted his three penalty in Chelsea colours to make it 1-1 at the time.
The 21-year-old Blues attacker assisted Jackson’s hat-trick goal in stoppage time, too.
He continues to make a big difference to this Chelsea XI with his extra bit of creativity and vision, something that did come good in the end.
There’s no doubt he’s a vital player for this side moving forward.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed on YouTube that Chelsea believe they got a bargain with Palmer’s signing. We definitely agree with that!
Some Chelsea fans on social media were all saying Palmer was fantastic tonight versus Spurs.
