Eagle-Eyed Chelsea Fans Spot Cole Palmer’s Priceless Reaction to Touchline Brawl
Chelsea fans got a glimpse of Cole Palmer’s hilarious reaction to a touchline brawl that broke out during their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge. The 20-year-old midfielder was involved in the commotion, but surprisingly, he decided to take a seat on the pitch and watch the scenes unfold.
Palmer’s calm demeanor was a stark contrast to the intensity of the game, which saw both teams create plenty of chances. The attacking midfielder had a quiet game, failing to replicate his four-goal haul against Brighton last weekend. However, he did provide the assist for Noni Madueke’s equalizing goal.
The game was a frustrating one for Chelsea, who failed to capitalize on their 22 shots on goal. Forest’s James Ward-Prowse was sent off in the 78th minute, leaving his team with 10 men, but the Blues couldn’t make the most of the numerical advantage.
Speaking after the game, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca praised his team’s performance, saying: "In the first half, we didn’t concede anything, we controlled the game, we created chances and the performance was very good." However, he acknowledged that Forest’s red card made the game more difficult for his team.
The result sees Chelsea remain in fourth place in the Premier League table, just behind Arsenal and Tottenham. With a tricky run of fixtures coming up, the Blues will need to find a way to turn draws into wins if they’re to challenge for a top-three finish.
