The Blues reached a milestone that has not been achieved for eight years as they claimed a comeback victory over Chelsea

Chelsea's recent clash against Manchester United not only resulted in a thrilling 4-3 victory but also marked a significant milestone for the club. With their impressive display of attacking prowess, the Blues equalled an eight-year high from the Antonio Conte era.

Equalling Scoring Records

Chelsea's impressive form in front of goal continued during their recent clash against Manchester United, with the Blues equalling their best scoring run since December 2016 after scoring in 13 consecutive matches.

Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer found the back of the net to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead against Erik ten Hag's side at Stamford Bridge.

The last time Chelsea achieved such a consistent scoring streak was during Antonio Conte's tenure, when the club was propelled towards the title with the likes of Eden Hazard and Diego Costa in sensational form. While the circumstances may differ this season, this scoring streak hints at a promising future for Chelsea under Tuchel's guidance.

Rollercoaster Victory

Despite initially holding a comfortable 2-0 lead, Chelsea faced a scare as they conceded three goals to trail against Manchester United late in the game. However, Cole Palmer emerged as the hero for the Blues, completing his hat-trick in extra time to secure a remarkable 4-3 comeback victory. This hard-fought win not only showcased Chelsea's attacking prowess but also highlighted their resilience and determination to secure victory even in the face of adversity.

As Chelsea continue their campaign with such impressive scoring form, fans can look forward to a promising future under Mauricio Pochettino's management, with hopes of more memorable victories and perhaps even silverware on the horizon.
