Cole Palmer sends touching message to Cucurella after sealing 3points for Chelsea in Leicester win
CHELSEA celebrate a big birthday today – but at times it feels like it’s more than just the club that is 120 years old.
Despite having the youngest squad in the Premier League by far, they toiled and laboured their way to victory against a team which has now lost six games on the spin and is hurtling through the relegation trap door at breakneck speed.
Three points does put them back into the top four and guaranteed Champions League football next season if they stay there.
But a hard-won win over one of the worst teams in the division with a goal from the left-back is hardly the stuff to trigger the popping of champagne corks for tomorrow’s anniversary.
And it’s even more of a party pooper that golden boy Cole Palmer’s frustrating run in front of goal hit a new low as he missed his first Premier League penalty.
Stamford Bridge’s poster boy was also subbed with 17 minutes left and trudged straight down the tunnel in an apparent grump at being taken off.
Meanwhile, Chelsea star Cole Palmer sends some touching message to Chelsea star cucurella after he secures 3point for Chelsea.
“It was really a great win I really thank Cucurella for scoring us the only goal and secure us 3points”
“I know I missed a penalty which supposed gives us the lead , it’s a tough moment for me but for sure I will bounce back”
“All thanks to the team and Cucurella for their support during my tough times”. Cole Palmer added.
Chelsea are back to Top4 and will be looking forward to keep the winning streak on.
