(Video): How Cole Palmer’s embarrassing of Man U defender may have set up Chelsea for late penalty

Cole Palmer dropping the shoulder vs Man Utd

Cole Palmer grabbed a hattrick last night with two penalties and a late deflected strike.

But his game was about far more than just those efforts.

He was on it all day, as the highlight reel published by Chelsea shows. He played countless line breaking passes and cross field switches, taking advantage of the open game to maximum effect.

His sublime skill on Diogo Dalot will live long in the memory. One way and then the other, he left then Portugal defender flat footed. One could even imagine that being embarrassed like that once played on Dalot’s mind as he clumsily chased down Noni Madueke to give away the equalising penalty.

No matter how cold he was after the two penalties, even Palmer couldn’t resist breaking into a proper yell and celebration after winning the game with the last kick.
