Chelsea players are all saying the same thing after stunning Man United win and Cole Palmer heroics
It was a remarkable night for Chelsea and those associated with the club on Thursday after their dramatic 4-3 victory over Manchester United.
Mauricio Pochettino's side were on the brink of a damaging defeat after blowing a 2-0 lead but turned it around in style atStamford Bridge. Conor Gallagher scored the opening goal before Cole Palmer doubled the lead on 20 minutes.
Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes ensured United were level at the break. Garnacho then bagged his second of the evening on 67 minutes before Palmer came to the rescue twice late in stoppage time.
He made no mistake from the spot and then struck again after he was left unmarked. His effort deflected off Scott McTominay as Stamford Bridge erupted.
Speaking after the game, Pochettino said: «It was amazing. We were the better team today and it was fair we scored in the the last minute. We started really well, 2-0 (up), the game was under control, then we made a mistake and suffered an emotional impact. It wasn’t easy to deal with.
»In the second half we controlled the game (but) conceded in transitions. It was important to finish like that, creating the connection between our fans and players. It’s a very good thing that happened today. It should be a turning point for the fans’ trust in the team."
