In a thrilling Premier League encounter on Sunday, Cole Palmer delivered under pressure with two clinical penalties, helping Chelsea secure a dramatic 4-3 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham started on fire at home, racing to a 2-0 lead with early goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski. However, Chelsea quickly fought back, with Jadon Sancho reducing the deficit before Palmer coolly converted his first penalty to level the score.
The Blues took the lead for the first time when Enzo Fernandez blasted a powerful strike from inside the box. Moments later, Palmer stepped up again from the spot, sealing his brace and putting Chelsea firmly in control. A late goal by Son Heung-Min added some tension but proved to be a mere consolation for Spurs.
This hard-fought victory moves Chelsea into second place with 31 points, overtaking Arsenal, who managed only a 1-1 draw against Fulham and now sit third with 29 points. Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City dropped points in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, leaving them fourth with 27 points.
Chelsea fans will be buzzing with their team's resilience and Palmer’s decisive display as the title race heats up!
