The lack of Cole Palmerwell it is Stephen. In west London they are still waiting for their star. Depleted by continuous injuries, the real ’10’ has not yet been seen blue. But Liam Roses you can be calm. Until Palmer becomes Palmer again, the Brazilian winger has already presented his candidacy to be the different, and differential, footballer who keeps the Chelsea in the fight for Champions League. They advance to Liverpoolwith one more point than the redsin the 4th place. It’s been a while since the Premier League discovered that Chelsea’s ’41’ is a great talent. Before him Crystal Palace (1-3), in the third consecutive victory of the blueshe just remembered it again.
With little more than 18 yearsthe second youngest player in Chelsea history to sign up a goal and an assistmonopolized almost all the spotlights of the fiefdom eagle. João Pedro y Enzo Fernández They also crashed the Estevão party. He show of the Brazilian, which they could not face even Whartonsent off for a double yellow, nor Chad Riadback on the pitch more than a year later, should serve to make him immovable and indisputable on the right wing. It has been a long time since Europe has enjoyed an irruption as brutal as that of Stephen. Good luck for Lalready Rosenior.
“Run, Estevão, run”
There is no evil that does not come with good. Palmer was dropped again “a little discomfort in the thigh”despite the fact that Liam Rosenior was confident that he could count on the ’10’ for his visit to Selhurst Park. In his place, Estevão took on the leading role of the star blue. His was the 0-1 visitor, the first to score from the start and one of the goals of the day. “Run, Estevão, run”.
For Chelsea to go into the break ahead on the scoreboard it was necessary, even before the impressive ride of the former Palmeiras player, who Robert Sánchez once again performed a miracle in the form of a stop. Again with the foot, as before the Brentford. In this case, to Math. From the error of Leave it we move on to the error of Canvot. The first, not the last.
The young central eaglestarter after the departure of the captain Marc Guéhihe took a pass, not a step, back. A very bad one and, in the end, deadly. It is true that Stephen He just had to beat the position Mitchell to stand alone before Dean Hendersonbut you also had to hit him with the power with which the Brazilian did inside the area after a 30-40 meter run from the central circle. The ’41’ blue He shot the English goalkeeper and was about to do it for the second time minutes before the break.
João Pedro joins the party
As the double eluded him because of Henderson, Stephen He then signed up for assistancehis second of the course, to finish off Crystal Palace five minutes after the match resumed. From Brazilian to Brazilian. Wall in the band between ’41’ and John Pedro that, after a masterful cut of the current reference blue with which he sat down the rival defender, ended up inside. Other great goal to the account of Chelsea.
While Estevão starred in a show to remember, this was a match to forget for several local players. The most notable, Jaydee Canvot. He failed at 0-1, broke the offside at 0-2 and caused the penalty from 0-3. The referee did not grant it at first, but after a long review in the OUR. João Pedro generated it and Enzo Fernández converted it. It wasn’t the best afternoon for either. Adam Whartonwho headed to the locker room after seeing two yellow in five minutes.
