GOAL | Raheem Sterling gives Chelsea the lead after toying with Kyle Walker!!! After terrible mistake from Walker
Cole Palmer returned to Manchester City with a sense of contentment ahead of their crucial Premier League encounter against Chelsea, his current club. At 21 years old, Palmer has deep roots within City, having honed his skills within the club’s ranks for over a decade before making the transition to Chelsea during the recent summer transfer window. Since his departure from City to join Chelsea, Palmer’s performance has been nothing short of impressive, having notched up 14 goals and provided 9 assists in 31 appearances under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino.
In Saturday’s highly anticipated match between Chelsea and the reigning Premier League champions, Palmer was granted a starting position, a decision that hardly came as a surprise given his recent form. As he made his way through the tunnel, Palmer found himself greeted by several of his former teammates, including Rodriguez, Kyle Walker, and Erling Haaland. The exchange of handshakes between Palmer and his former colleagues was marked by a genuine sense of happiness and camaraderie.
Interestingly, while Palmer’s gesture was met with warmth and acceptance, similar acts of sportsmanship by other Premier League stars have faced criticism. Despite this, Palmer’s reception and interaction with his former teammates serve as a testament to the enduring bonds forged within the footballing fraternity, transcending club loyalties and rivalries.
