at Stamford Bridge
TWO late Cole Palmer goals in the 100th and 101st minutes of this stunning game sparked incredible scenes in front of 39,694 fans at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening.
With Erik ten Hag's Manchester United leading Chelsea 3-2 with 99 minutes and 17 seconds on the clock – improbably, inexplicably, amazingly, Mauricio Pochettino's Blues staged a remarkable comeback for the ages, sparked by former Manchester City attacker Palmer’s two late goals to make it a hattrick overall to win this enthralling contest.
Palmer, 21 - who surely must feature for England at this summer's European Championships in Germany - grabbed two late strikes to send this part of West London into raptures, not to mention utter bedlam as the home support celebrated with deep and joyous intensity on and off the pitch.
