London. — Cole Palmer returned to haunt Manchester City as the Chelsea forward’s last-gasp penalty rescued an incredible 4-4 draw against the Premier League leaders in one of the games of the season.
Palmer struck in the final seconds after Rodri’s 86th minute strike looked set to send City home from Stamford Bridge with all three points.
It was a sweet moment for Palmer after City boss Pep Guardiola opted to sell the rising star to Chelsea in a surprise £42 million ($51 million) deal in September. Guardiola said Manchester-born Palmer, who joined City aged six, rejected his offer of more playing time this season in a bid to keep him.
The youngster made his old boss pay in the most dramatic fashion, having the final say in an astonishing encounter that provided countless plot twists. — AFP.
