Cole Palmer Shines for Chelsea
In a thrilling match against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer played a pivotal role, scoring and assisting as Chelsea secured a 3-2 victory. Palmer’s contributions were crucial in boosting Chelsea’s hopes for a top-half finish.
Palmer’s Impactful Performance
Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s standout player, showcased his talent with a goal and an assist during the game. His remarkable season continued with two impressive strikes from outside the box, highlighting his prowess as Chelsea’s most creative player and biggest goal threat.
Pressure Eased on Pochettino
The victory against Newcastle provided relief for manager Mauricio Pochettino, who faced criticism after Chelsea’s previous draw against Brentford. Despite a late scare from Jacob Murphy’s goal, the win was an important result for Chelsea, demonstrating resilience after conceding an equalizer.
Chelsea’s Response and Concerns
After Alexander Isak’s equalizer for Newcastle, Chelsea showed character by regaining the lead through Palmer’s brilliant strike and Mykhailo Mudryk’s solo effort. However, Chelsea’s tendency to drop off after taking the lead and defensive lapses remain areas of concern for Pochettino.
Players Impress for England Consideration
With Gareth Southgate observing, several Chelsea players caught the eye for potential inclusion in the England squad. Conor Gallagher’s performance at No10 position and Tino Livramento’s versatility stood out, while Raheem Sterling faced challenges to secure his spot due to missed opportunities and increasing competition from Mudryk. Anthony Gordon’s injury adds uncertainty to his chances of making the squad.
