Cole Palmer scored a hat-trick as Chelsea defeated Manchester United 4-3 at Stamford Bridge.
In what has been termed the 'L-Clasico' on social media, or the battle of mediocrity, Chelsea and Manchester United locked horns at Stamford Bridge in a game that meant more for bragging rights than actual points on the board.
Chelsea triumph in 7-goal thriller
In a thrilling encounter at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer's late heroics secured a dramatic 4-3 victory for Chelsea against Manchester United.
After the Red Devils surrendered a 3-2 lead in stoppage time, Palmer's brace in the 10th and 11th minutes of added time sealed the astonishing win.
Both teams, once dominant forces, have fallen from grace, seeking redemption after recent setbacks.
Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea took an early lead through Conor Gallagher and doubled it with Palmer's penalty.
However, United staged a comeback, leveling the score through an Alejandro Garnacho brace and a fine strike from Bruno Fernandes. Despite United's late resurgence, Palmer's second penalty and deflected strike secured a memorable win for Chelsea, capping off an unforgettable Premier League clash.
