STONE-COLE KILLER...

Palmer's nerveless finishing steals one of the all-time classics from stunned United

- JOHN CROSS

THIS was one of the all-time great finishes at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer scored TWICE in injury time to bring back Chelsea from the brink of a disastrous defeat to a glorious victory.

Chelsea hero Palmer scored a 109th-minute penalty, then a winner a minute later to spark incredible celebrations as Manchester United blew it in the dying stages.

What a game. What a finish. And what utter despair for United and what incredible joy for Chelsea with a fightback which might save their season.

Chelsea were 2-0 up, United fought back to go 3-2 ahead and then Chelsea turned the game and the night on its head to leave Erik ten Hag looking crestfallen and the visiting players on their knees.

It was a classic won by the boyhood United fan Palmer who ended up with a hat trick Palmer said: "When the eight minutes got added on it gave us a lift. To win like that, well there's nothing better. To score two goals so late is just crazy. I was a United fan growing up, too!" How on earth United manager Ten Hag comes back from this is anyone's guess. How United come back from this is anybody's guess. But it will mean a hell of a lot for Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino (left).
