Following Raheem Sterling’s goal last night, several Chelsea players rushed to congratulate a 21-year-old teammate, but it wasn’t Sterling they were acknowledging.

According to reports from Football London, most players were quicker to appreciate the contributions of Cole Palmer, who once again played a pivotal role in setting up the goal for his teammate.

With the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United already out of the competition, there is a significant opportunity for the remaining teams to achieve something remarkable in this season’s tournament.

The 21-year-old has consistently delivered exceptional performances, with pundit Glenn Murray, who watched the game, describing him as the standout player on the pitch by a significant margin. This impressive form has been a recurring theme since his move to Stamford Bridge on deadline day, even when Chelsea didn’t secure a victory in the match against Brentford.
