Chelsea 4-3 Manchester United: Premier League – live | Premier League

“Lads, lads, lads,” says Ian Sargeant. “It’s Man Utd.”

After that hat-trick, Cole Palmer is now second equal among the many prime scorers within the Premier League. He has 16 objectives, the identical as Mo Salah, Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke, two greater than Phil Foden and two fewer than Erling Haaland.

A end like that requires a pun or two. “What a Boehlywood ending!” says Peter Oh. “Give the person the Palmer D’Or!”

Cole Palmer has dragged Chelsea into the highest half of the desk. They’re now tenth, with 43 factors. They’ve a sport in hand on the cluster of golf equipment above them, however (from reminiscence) that sport is at Arsenal, so it will not be a lot use to them.

“I feel that has sealed Ten Hag’s destiny,” says Stephen Holliday. “He’ll nonetheless be given the remainder of the season however he gained’t begin the following. Going 3-2 up after which cease enjoying with what seems to be half-hour left? It wasn’t onerous to foretell what was going to occur. Naive within the excessive.”

The winner is being proven once more. If McTominay hadn’t received that deflection, Onana would have saved Palmer’s shot, which was going straight at him. However then if United had been switched on, anyone would have adopted Palmer as he drifted over in direction of the nook. He had far an excessive amount of time.

That is what occurs whenever you depart your star participant on.

“This has to go down as a masterclass in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” says Colum Fordham. “Manchester United have excelled themselves. Fairly a feat, that. Two essentially flawed superteams however Chelsea managed to fluke it.”

I’m catching up with some emails, most of them now means outdated. However not this one from Sarah Rothwell. “Wager whoever determined to not give Palmer man of the match is a wee bit crimson within the face proper now.”

Cole Palmer is giving an interview. His phrases aren’t fairly as expressive as his toes: he’s simply’ as gobsmacked as everybody else. Requested if he’s a United fan, he says: “Yeah, once I was a child. So, yeah…”

That’s most likely that for United’s faint hopes of scraping into the Champions League. On two journeys to west London, they’ve thrown away 5 factors in added time within the house of six nights.

United misplaced two centre-backs to harm, however they’d solely themselves responsible. They conceded two penalties and 28 photographs. Alejandro Garnacho, good as he was, wants handy the player-of-the-match award over to Cole Palmer.

It was a sport of three acts. Chelsea went 2-0 up, then 3-2 down, then 4-3 up. They hadn’t misplaced after being two up at house within the league for 25 years, and due to Palmer, they nonetheless haven’t.
