Cole Palmer hails Chelsea’s dramatic 4-3 win over Man United as ‘a massive momentum booster’ as the hat-trick hero reveals what Mauricio Pochettino said in between his stoppage time strikes

Cole Palmer scored in the 10th and 11th minutes of added time to secure a remarkable comeback for Chelsea, sparking wild scenes at Stamford Bridge as manager Mauricio Pochettino led the celebrations at full-time.

Manchester United thought they had sealed their own comeback after coming back from 2-0 down to go 3-2 up, only for Palmer to score twice against the team he supported in his youth to secure his hat-trick and victory. .

The fact that United led as the clock passed 99 minutes and 17 seconds meant that this was the last time a team had led in a Premier League match that they then lost.

After a game in which there were a staggering 47 shots (28 for Chelsea and 19 for United), Palmer said: “A crazy game.” When the eight minutes were up, he gave us a push. Craziness. He did not know what to do. He was running when I scored. To win like this, there is nothing better.”

Palmer’s hat-trick involved two penalties and he said: “A hat-trick is a hat-trick.” It was my first. I’m very happy about that. I have received some sanctions this season. If they penalize me, I will try to score, I will not try to miss.”

‘When we scored he (Pochettino) said “two minutes, let’s go.” He is always trying to push us. We tried and luckily we scored.

‘He’s a big winner. He is a huge momentum builder. He puts everyone in a good mood. “Hopefully we can move forward.”

Pochettino added: “It’s a start to building a connection with the fans and it will be very useful for our future.”

United manager Erik ten Hag said after all the chaos: “It was an incredible game for the neutral team. A fantastic game of football with a lot of quality. Manchester United dominated the game but we made individual mistakes that cost us the game We have to learn from it.

“When you are a Man United player you should already know how to deal with this circumstance. I enjoyed how my team played, it was fantastic. We dominated the ball, we dominated the rival.

‘In five days we lost five points. That is unacceptable. “We should have a high level if we want to compete for the Champions League.”

United captain Bruno Fernandes added: “We had the game in our hands and we gave it away.” It’s an important game (against Liverpool on Sunday). I don’t need to say anything (to my teammates). “If I have to say something it’s a problem because this is a huge club.”
