CHELSEA fans hailed Cole Palmer after his audacious skill against Manchester United.
The England international, 22, was largely kept quiet at Old Trafford on Sunday as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
But Palmer, 22, still showed his class with one eye-catching moment up against Man Utd’s new signing Manuel Ugarte.
Neither side were able to keep hold of possession as the ball bounced around in an ugly passage of play.
Eventually, it dropped to Palmer who feinted to take it one way and then fed the ball through Ugarte’s legs.
He then found space and played a pass to start a Chelsea move.
