Cole Palmer sent x-rated message after Chelsea heroics against Manchester United

Chelsea hero Cole Palmer was sent an x-rated message by his fellow team-mates after his heroics against Manchester United. The Three Lions international found the net three times across the 90 minutes, including twice in stoppage time, as the Blues came from behind in remarkable fashion to win 4-3 in a Premier League classic.

Netting twice from the penalty spot, Palmer then lashed the ball against Scott McTominay with just seconds remaining on the clock, as Mauricio Pochettino's men left it late to complete a stunning comeback.

Following the full-time whistle, the former Manchester City man collected the match ball from referee Jarred Gillet and posed for photographs inside the dressing room, in a celebratory post that was shared widely across social media.

Eagle-eyed fans, however, quickly spotted that his Chelsea pals were keen to take the mick out of his antics at Stamford Bridge, with the words 's**t player' plastered across his prized possession in a clear moment of jest.

Having found the net three times in the same match for the first time in his career, Palmer provided his thoughts following the seven-goal thriller on Thursday evening. «I don't know [how Chelsea came back]! We were 2-0 up and then we made silly mistakes,» he began.

‌“When the eight minutes got added on it gave us a lift and I thought let’s go for it. It was madness. We need to try to win as many games as possible, but to win like that, there is nothing better. ‌
