Even though Cole Palmer won’t be officially recognized as the goal’s scorer or assister, his brilliance was undeniable.

Pedro Neto raced into space after receiving a magnificent long pass from the England international as Chelsea were confined to their own penalty area. Being one of the season’s passes, it called for lightning reflexes, foresight, and execution.

Once Neto faced Fabian Schar in a one-on-one match, there was only ever going to be one result. Nicolas Jackson was waiting to knock in the rebound as the winger sprinted past the defender.

You can understand why the striker’s coach was so effusive in his praise of him before the game. He’s getting more and better at hooking up with the players around him, is constantly in the right places, and has the speed and energy to cause problems for the opponent.
