Cole Palmer chip goal is just pure class. Palmer takes the soccer ball on the half volley like it is a pick up soccer game in the park. Everything so ease for him it seems these days. In the Euros, he was one of England’s best players!
Do you think Pep Guardiola might want to call back Palmer to Manchester City? He does have reinforcements though, after midfielder Gundogan returned from Barcelona. But still, after what Palmer has been doing for Chelsea I’m sure Pep has some regrets about letting Cole leave.
Overall, Cole Palmer is just a special player. Call him cold is right. Calm too. Ice in his veins. Where does the ice cold celebration come from? It comes from one of his friends he played with when he was younger.
After both his strikes, Palmer rubbed his arms as if feeling the winter weather, but revealed after the match that it was a nod to his former Manchester City academy team-mate Morgan Rogers, who had done the same after netting Middlesbrough’s winner against West Bromwich Albion in the Championship this time last week.
‘My boy Morgs did one for Middlesbrough, so I told him I’d do it too if I scored,’ explained Palmer, before recalling the incredible composure he showed to pick his moment to net his second goal of the day at Kenilworth Road.
Furthermore, with this Palmer chip goal, it should be right up there in terms of goals of the English Premier League season the way he takes it on the half volley. Yes, the keeper her has no chance. The ball is up in over his head before he knows it.
A class goal all around for Chelsea and with Cole they might just to be able to turn around their last couple of rough seasons. He’s the one player that still sticks out from all the bunches of players they’ve signed.
Chelsea may have just scored their team goal of the season as Robert Sanchez’s and Nicolas Jackson’s link-up play results in a beautiful chip finish from Cole Palmer to give the Blues the lead.
