When the eight minutes got added on, it gave us a lift.“Madness. I didn’t know what to do. I was running round when I scored. To win like that, there is nothing better.”With regards to another two penalties for his collection, he said: “A hat-trick is a hat-trick. It was my first one. I’m really happy about it.“I’ve had a few penalties this season. If I get penalties, I’m going to try to score, I’m not going to try to miss.”Palmer added: “When we scored he [Pochettino] said ‘two minutes, come on’. He’s always trying to drive us on.

Hopefully we can kick on.”Cole Palmer impressed Joe Cole with his post-match interview on TNT SportsCredit: XAfter watching his interview with Jules Breach, former England star Joe Cole could not hide his admiration for the youngsters.He said: “What’s even more remarkable is, the way he was talking to Jules, he just scored a last minute goal – it was like he just got off the sofa, he’s got his cocoa in his hand, and he’s ready for bed.“He’s the coolest man in the building. These fans love him. Cause there’s no experienced players around, you’re looking for someone who’s got something magical. You watch Jude Bellingham, he’s not 20 years old.“You feel the same with Cole Palmer.

Cool as you like.”PALMER’S MAGIC NIGHTCHELSEA put in a Jekyll & Hyde performance against Manchester United as they blew a 2-0 lead before coming back to win.
The Blues ran their opponents ragged inside the opening 20 minutes and were soon two goals to the good.
Cole Palmer was at his skilfully best and scored again from the penalty spot, after Conor Gallagher had smashed in the opener.
Enzo Fernandez got forward well and even Marc Cucurella looked invigorated – the Spaniard winning the penalty for the second goal.
But in the 34th minute Chelsea shot themselves in the foot yet again as Moises Caicedo gifted Alejandro Garnacho possession to score.
Prior to that the visitors were not in the game but the goal appeared to inspire Erik ten Hag’s side, who were level moments later through Bruno Fernandes’ back post header.
The score was level at the break and the game could have swung in either direction.
As it was, a rare moment of magic from Antony as his cross with the outside of his boot was met by Garnacho, who nodded the ball past Djordje Petrovic to put United in front.
But there would be a final twist as Palmer struck twice in stoppage time to seal his hat-trick and a dramatic 4-3 victory.
