Chelsea orchestrated a dramatic late rally to overcome Manchester United 4-3, as Cole Palmer secured a hat-trick to completely alter the course of a chaotic Premier League encounter.
This turnaround came after the Reds themselves appeared to be mounting an improbable comeback in a thrilling match on Thursday. Chelsea’s leading goal scorer, Palmer, netted twice in stoppage time at Stamford Bridge to rescue the Blues from what seemed like an imminent 3-2 home defeat.
Despite the loss, United remain in sixth place, trailing fourth-placed Villa by 11 points with a game in hand. Palmer’s decisive goal, timed at 100 minutes and 39 seconds, stands as the latest match-winning goal ever recorded in a Premier League fixture.
