Cole Palmer lifts the mood at Chelsea in big boost for England chances
Share this
Once again this season, you might be left thinking about how important Cole Palmer is for Chelsea. Last night, he played a big part in their win against Newcastle, which also helped ease some pressure off Mauricio Pochettino.
Palmer scored a goal and assisted another, both impressive shots from outside the box. His first assist came from a clever pass by Nicolas Jackson. This continues Palmer’s great season, catching the eye of England’s coach Gareth Southgate.
The win was a relief for Pochettino after facing criticism from some fans in the last game. However, it wasn’t an easy win, especially after Newcastle scored a late goal.
It’s worth considering where Chelsea would be without Palmer. Pochettino’s job might be at risk without Palmer’s contributions.
But Palmer’s success isn’t just luck. Pochettino deserves credit for recognizing Palmer’s talent and creating an environment where he can thrive.
Regardless of what happens to Pochettino, Palmer will be remembered at Chelsea. He’s shown he has what it takes to succeed.
Palmer’s stats speak for themselves. He’s one of the top young players in the league, with only Bukayo Saka involved in more goals. And Palmer is doing this in a team that’s not as strong as Saka’s Arsenal.
Last night, Palmer once again showed his creativity with two goals. Pochettino praised his maturity and improvement.
Palmer is likely to be in England’s squad for the upcoming European Championship. His performance last night only strengthens his case.
Pochettino has a track record of developing players for the national team, and Palmer is the latest example.
Palmer’s second goal was crucial in shifting momentum back to Chelsea. Although Raheem Sterling missed a chance, Mykhailo Mudryk sealed the win with another goal.
Chelsea showed promise despite some moments of inexperience. Pochettino praised their effort and fighting spirit.
Their next challenge is an FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester. But with Palmer shining, Chelsea already have something positive to take from this season.
