CHELSEA’S BEST PLAYER
Alan Shearer: “Very impressive Chelsea performance, Reece James was superb, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling was incredible but 21-year-old Palmer was absolutely sensational.
“One of the impressive things about him is he always tries to pass forward into forwards. His first thought is can he do that, can he run forward.
“There was nothing short of it being magnificent when he had the ball. Offering himself when under pressure and then driving forward and setting Chelsea into really good positions.
