“Gold player for Chelsea”, “But he will leave Chelsea one day”, “Feel for him” – Chelsea fans hails positive 21-year-old star despite 2-0 defeat to Brentford
Chelsea fans hailed Cole Palmer for his stellar performance against Brentford, despite the Blues losing 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 28.
The Blues had a dominant start to the game, with Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke going close to breaking the deadlock. Cole Palmer brilliantly scooped the ball into the box in the 19th minute for the hosts’ best chance of the game, but Marc Cucurella failed to convert.
Palmer exquisitely put Raheem Sterling through on goal a minute later, only for the latter to somehow blaze his effort over the goal from close range.Brentford took the lead against the run of play in the 58th minute through Ethan Pinnock. Bryan Mbeumo then scored from a counterattack in the 96th minute to seal all three points for the Bees.Despite most of the attack failing to make an impact during the game, Cole Palmer had a sensational game. The 21-year-old had a pass accuracy of 86%, created four big chances, and made 13 passes into the final third.One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Cole Palmer plays like that for City, Arsenal or Liverpool and he’s getting 3 assists and 10/10. Only one attacker that did his job. Feel for him.”
Palmer has impressed for the Blues since joining from Manchester City this summer. He has scored two goals and provided two assists in nine appearances to date.
@elsdawg: Cole Palmer is who Arsenal fans think Odegaard is.
