In an exciting London derby, Chelsea defeats Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 thanks to a spectacular comeback led by Cole Palmer.
After Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella had a terrible start and slipped twice in the build-up to Tottenham’s goals, Spurs jumped out to an early two-goal lead.
Spurs took control when Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski took advantage of the defensive lapses.
Later, in a strange move to prevent such accidents, Cucurella switched his boots.
Chelsea quickly responded, and just before halftime, Jadon Sancho pulled one back.
Palmer equalized with a composed penalty kick to give the Blues the lead in the second half, and then Enzo Fernandez scored a spectacular half-volley to put Chelsea ahead.
With a spectacular Panenka penalty to seal the win, Palmer’s perfect Premier League penalty record now stands at 12/12, the greatest run by any player in the league’s history.
With an incredible 37 Premier League goal involvements in a calendar year, his contributions also set a new club record.
Son Heung-min’s late goal set up a nerve-wracking conclusion, but Chelsea held firm to secure a crucial three points.
