Cole Palmer, a former Manchester City player, struck a penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time to help Chelsea tie the defending Premier League champions 4-4 on Sunday.
Palmer departed City for Chelsea in September in a move worth roughly $52 million, and he showed great poise to strike past Ederson in the dying stages of a thrilling contest at Stamford Bridge.
With four minutes remaining in regulation time, Rodri appeared to have secured a win for Pep Guardiola’s club with a deflected shot.
When Ruben Dias fell into substitute Armando Broja in the box, referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot. After a little pause, Palmer swept his shot into the corner, preventing City from jumping three points clear at the top.
Chelsea crushed Tottenham’s title hopes with a stunning 4-1 win over Ange Postecoglou’s squad on Monday, and they posed a challenge for City as well, coming back from behind three times.
In the 25th minute, Erling Haaland scored from the penalty spot after VAR determined Marc Cucurella fouled the Norwegian.
Four minutes later, Thiago Silva equalized with a header from the corner.
