8 months ago 71

CHELSEA have beaten Manchester United 4-3 in one of the games of the season at Stamford Bridge.

Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer put the Blues ahead after just 20 minutes but a mistake from Moises Caicedo allowed Alejandro to ghost in and pull a goal back.

Bruno Fernandes equalised soon after with a header and Garnacho grabbed his double with a deft finish deep into the second half.

Palmer then equalised with a 100th-minute penalty to rescue a point for Chelsea before securing his hat-trick a minute later.

Who will be the star men?

Cole Palmer has been Chelsea’s standout player this season and bailed them out with a brace against Burnley.

The former Manchester City man is one of the few players that have justified their price tag under Todd Boehly’s £1billion revolution and is no doubt Chelsea’s most important player.

United seem to be back to their old ways despite going into the international break off the back of a thrilling 4-3 win over Liverpool.

Mason Mount was a bright spark in the dismal display against Brentford and could play a crucial role should he start this game.

What have the managers said?

When Ten Hag was asked if his team were lucky to draw with Brentford, he said: “Yes. I think so. But if you are winning, you shouldn’t give it away. Normally we are a strong side, we are strong in situations and we bring it over the line. It’s very disappointing.”

Pochettino meanwhile admitted his side are “missing something” from their “hearts and heads” after their 2-2 draw with Burnley.

He said: “That is why I’m so upset and disappointed. It’s more here [in the heart] and here [in the head] than in your legs. It’s about being strong like a group, strong like a team.

“We are too slow evolving in this area. That was the key today. The team played well, we had energy. When we have the ball, we go forwards.

“But when we didn’t have the ball, we don’t have the same energy. Today, sorry, I am not happy with the performance when we don’t have the ball.

“It’s difficult to accept not to win. It was a must-win game to be in a position to attack.”
