April 05, (THEWILL) – In a match that will go down as one of the most thrilling English Premier League encounters in recent memory, Chelsea came from behind to claim a remarkable 4-3 victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
The visitors had taken a 3-2 lead late on, only for Cole Palmer to strike twice in stoppage time to complete a stunning turnaround. That outcome did not seem plausible when Mauricio Pochettino’s side raced into an early 2-0 lead, but Erik ten Hag’s men battled back superbly to seemingly pocket all three points, before the late drama unfolded.
Both teams have endured difficult seasons thus far, a far cry from their past domestic and European successes. However, this enthralling encounter demonstrated the quality still present in their squads, with several outstanding individual and team performances on display.
In the end, it was Chelsea who emerged victorious, with Palmer the hero after netting a brace in the closing stages. The result will provide a much-needed confidence boost for the Blues, who must now concentrate on improving this performance to climb further into the top half of the standings from their 10th place. Conversely, United will be left to lament their inability to see out the victory, a result that leaves them in sixth behind Tottenham Hotspur.
This pulsating clash will live long in the memory of all who witnessed it, encapsulating the drama and unpredictability that makes the EPL one of the most captivating competitions in world football.
