Palmer’s first goal came after a scintillating run by Malo Gusto, who set up the winger for a simple finish. The second goal was equally impressive, with Levi Colwill’s through-ball allowing Palmer to showcase his skill.
Joao Pedro’s goal was the icing on the cake, as Cole Palmer’s precise pass found him in space, and he expertly chipped the ball over Donnarumma. This win marks a significant achievement for Chelsea, especially after their Conference League triumph in May.
