Chelsea held on to leader Manchester City (4-4) after an incredible summit on Sunday at home. Young Cole Palmer, a 21-year-old former Citizen, scored the equalizer from the penalty spot in added time. The Espoirs international, who arrived this summer from Manchester, took a deep breath, gained momentum and capsized a Stamford Bridge stadium drunk with happiness. The final will leave the reigning champion bitter, especially since he thought he would make the difference late on with a shot from Rodri deflected by the unfortunate Thiago Silva (86th, 3-4). The point brought back from London allows everything similarly to Manchester City (28 points) to take sole control of the Premier League after twelve days, with a small point ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal who complete the podium with 27 units each.
