Football pundit, Gary Lineker, has waxed lyrical about Chelsea forward, Cole Palmer, over his performance in the Blues’ 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The England international, Palmer, was at his very best again again for the Blues, scoring twice from the spot to help them complete a comeback victory.
Chelsea trailed early on as Tottenham punished two mistakes by Marc Cucurella to take a 2-0 lead.
The Blues, however, halved the deficit before the break through former Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund man, Jadon Sancho.
Palmer leveled the scores with a spot-kick in the 61st minute and was instrumental in Chelsea’s third goal, scored by Enzo Fernandez.
He took on several Spurs players and then attempted a shot that deflected to Fernandez, who rifled home.
Palmer scored another penalty in the 84th minute to seal the result.
Gary Lineker said on The Rest is Football podcast, “Chelsea really dominated to be honest. Spurs still had the odd chance on the counter attack, but Cole Palmer.
“The little assist that he got, he came in from the touchline, it was almost Messi-esque. And then he scored two penalties, the second was a little Panenka which was beautifully taken. What a talent.”
