Cole Palmer's words after scoring the tying goal against Manchester City

Chelsea and Manchester City closed one of the most entertaining matches of the season. 8 goals between them in a match that ended 4-4 on the scoreboard. Chelsea placed themselves in an important way in the match and the citizen team achieved a point that tastes like defeat because it was in the last minute when Cole Palmer tied everything from the penalty spot. The former Manchester City footballer managed to save a valuable point for his team in this new round.

The first 45 minutes were very busy with the two teams sharing the ball and the advantage on the scoreboard. City started the match in a better way with high pressure when Chelsea came out and with Jeremy Doky they began to do damage on the left. At 25 minutes this paid off with a penalty by Marc Cucurella on Erling Haaland, which was sanctioned by the VAR after the review. The same Norwegian striker was in charge of executing it and making it 1-0.

6 goals later, in the 92nd minute, Rúben Días committed a penalty against Armando Broja after sweeping into the area and taking down the Chelsea forward. Cole Palmer took charge of executing it and scored 4-4 with a good open shot out of Emerson's reach. The scoreboard did not move again and the points ended up being distributed in a match with many emotions.

What did Cole Palmer say after scoring against his former team?

“I won't say I work on penalties, I don't. “I just trusted in my ability!”, told Sky. “First time I played against City. I have great respect for the club I spent 15 years at. “It was great to see some friends.” After this result, Chelsea now has 4 points from the last 6 against direct rivals such as Tottenham or Manchester City. Little by little, Pochettino's team is starting to work and these types of results are clear proof of this.
