In a match of unprecedented drama, Chelsea scripted history by securing a thrilling 4-3 victory against Manchester United in the Premier League, marking the latest ever comeback in the competition's history.
Cole Palmer emerged as the hero for Chelsea, netting two crucial goals deep into stoppage time to snatch a remarkable win from the jaws of defeat. Initially putting Chelsea 2-0 ahead with a penalty and following Conor Gallagher's opener, Palmer's heroics were instrumental in Chelsea's stunning turnaround.
Despite Chelsea's early dominance, Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback, erasing the deficit with goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes before Garnacho struck again to give United the lead at Stamford Bridge. As the game entered its final stages, Chelsea seemed destined for another disappointing result in what had been a lackluster season for the club.
However, it was Palmer who turned the tide for Chelsea in the dying moments of the game, converting a penalty in the 100th minute after a VAR review, leveling the score at 3-3.
The drama reached its zenith when, deep into stoppage time, Chelsea won a corner and Palmer capitalized on the opportunity, firing a shot from the edge of the box that took a deflection off Scott McTominay and beat Andre Onana, securing a historic victory for Chelsea and etching his name into Premier League folklore.
