Chelsea and Manchester City Play A Thrilling 4-4 Draw In The Premier League

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.

Manchester City 3-0 Young Boys: Erling Haaland Bags Double As Pep Guardiola’s Side Reach The Last 16 Of The Champions League

Manchester City advanced to the UEFA Champions League last 16 with a 3-0 home victory over Young Boys, thanks to Erling Haaland’s brace.

The Norwegian striker was a doubt coming into the game after being forced off early against Bournemouth the previous weekend, but he showed no signs of a problem as he calmly converted a penalty in the 23rd minute to open the score.

The hosts were in command throughout, and Phil Foden extended their lead on the stroke of half-time when he ran past his marker on the right before calmly stroking a low shot into the far corner.

Haaland added his second of the game just after the intermission with a 25-yard blast, bringing his season total to 15.

Young Boys’ agony was exacerbated moments later when they were reduced to ten men due to Sandro Lauper’s second yellow card.

Man City had chances to extend their lead, but they couldn’t convert as the game entered the last half-hour.

The result ensures that The Citizens will finish first in Group G with two games to spare if they avoid loss at home to RB Leipzig on Matchday 5.

On Sunday, Man City will travel to Chelsea in the Premier League. On Saturday, Young Boys will play Luzern in the Swiss Super League.

Nicolas Jackson’s Hat-Trick Helps Chelsea End Spurs’ Unbeaten Run

A Nicolas Jackson hat-trick and Cole Palmer's spot kick saw Chelsea hammer nine-man Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 in a chaotic Monday night clash.

Dejan Kulusevski's deflected shot put Spurs ahead after six minutes, but it went into reverse at alarming speed when Cristian Romero returned to his old reckless ways.

The Blues were fortunate to escape a sending-off for kicking out at Levi Cowell. Still, they could not resist following through on international teammate Enzo Fernandez, picking up a red card, and allowing Cole Palmer to equalise from the spot in 35 minutes.

Spurs' night went rapidly downhill as Van de Venn collapsed, clutching his hamstring as he raced back to halt a Chelsea attack, before Maddison also went off after appearing to pick up an ankle injury.

Unlike Romero, Destiny Udogie was lucky to escape a red card for an early lunge on Raheem Sterling. Still, a rash, late dive into another tackle early in the second half on the same player left referee Oliver no option but to send him off.

Chelsea took advantage and went 2-1 ahead through Jackson in the 75th minute.

In the 94th minute, Jackson grabbed his second of the night to put Chelsea 3-1 ahead.

The Senegalese then completed his hat-trick as he netted in 97 minutes.

A win for Spurs would have seen them return to the top, as they remain in second place with 26 points, while Chelsea moves up to 10th with 15 points.

I Hope Victor Osimhen Joins Chelsea – Mikel Obi

Former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has expressed optimism about the possibility of Victor Osimhen joining the London-based club in the upcoming transfer window.

The ex-Nigeria international believes that the Napoli striker possesses the qualities needed to excel in the Premier League.

Mikel spoke highly of Osimhen's potential fit in the English top flight, stating, "I think he [Victor Osimhen] does slot seamlessly into the Premier League. He's got the tools to be a success in England." In the latest podcast, Mikel shared his insights into Osimhen's abilities and how they align with the demands of Premier League clubs.

Reflecting on Osimhen's progress over the years, Mikel admitted that his perspective had evolved. He continued, "When I look back at him a few years ago, I would say 'no.' But now, watching him last season and watching him this season, I would say definitely." Mikel emphasized Osimhen's attributes, such as his goal-scoring prowess, ability to run behind defenders, and capacity to stretch opposing teams, which are highly sought-after qualities in the Premier League.

Mikel expressed his wish for Osimhen to join Chelsea, but he acknowledged that the striker is reportedly a target for Manchester United. He concluded, "I hope you come to Chelsea. But from the noises that I hear, he is a big United. But I hope he comes to Chelsea, really."

John Mikel Obi's endorsement of Victor Osimhen's Premier League potential and his preference for Chelsea reflect the excitement surrounding the Nigerian striker's future in one of the world's most competitive football leagues.
