In a tҺrilling Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City, Cole Palmer attempted a cheeky stunt against his former team but was swiftly shut down by Erling Haaland. As Manchester City was awarded a crucial free-kιck near the hosts’ penalty area, Haaland, along with Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, and Jack Grealish, gathered to discuss their strategy. Palmer, wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation, approached the group. However, Haaland forcefully pushed Palmer away, ensuring that their plan remained confidential.
Palmer had already made waves earlier in the game when he scuffed up the penalty spot after Marc Cucurella fouled Haaland in the box, resulting in him receiving a yellow card. Chelsea fans found Palmer’s audacity amusing and praised his attempts to disrupt Manchester City’s strategy.
The match itself was a tҺrilling affair, with both teams exchanging goals. Haaland opened the scoring for Manchester City, followed by Thiago Silva equalizing for Chelsea. Raheem Sterling and Manuel Akanji then traded goals, before Haaland and Nicolas Jackson both found the back of the net. Rodri’s goal seemed to secure victory for Manchester City, but Palmer’s 95th-minute penalty salvaged a draw for Chelsea.
Despite the drаmаtic ending, manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed frustration as the full-time whistle blew before a potential Chelsea аttаck could materialize. Pochettino later apologized for his actions in a press conference.
