Cole Palmer leads Chelsea’s amazing comeback to upset Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a thrilling London Derby.
Spurs took an early two-goal lead as Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella had a horrible start, sliding twice in the buildup to Tottenham’s goals.
Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski capitalised on defensive blunders to put Spurs in command.
Cucurella then replaced his boots in an unusual moment to avoid future disasters.
Chelsea’s response was immediate, with Jadon Sancho pulling one back before halftime.
The second half belonged to the Blues as Palmer equalized with a calm penalty before Enzo Fernandez unleashed a stunning half-volley to give Chelsea the lead.
Palmer sealed the victory with a sensational Panenka penalty, extending his flawless Premier League penalty record to 12/12, the longest run by any player in the league’s history .
His contributions also set a new club record for the most Premier League goal involvements in a calendar year, reaching an impressive 37.
Despite a late goal from Son Heung-min to set up a nervy finish, Chelsea held firm to claim a vital three points.
