    Chelsea pulled off a stunning comeback in a thrilling encounter against sixth-placed Manchester United, securing a 4-3 victory, with Cole Palmer’s hat trick stealing the spotlight. Palmer’s heroics in the 100th and 111th minutes turned the tide of the match, which seemed to be slipping away from Chelsea after United mounted their own comeback from a 2-0 deficit.

    The game unfolded as another enthralling chapter in the Premier League’s season of high drama, with Chelsea taking the lead early on through Conor Gallagher’s strike in the 4th minute. Palmer extended Chelsea’s advantage in the 19th minute, calmly converting a penalty earned by Marc Cucurella’s foul.

    However, Chelsea’s vulnerability at holding onto leads resurfaced as Moises Caicedo’s mistake allowed Alejandro Garnacho to pull one back for United in the 34th minute, followed by Bruno Fernandes’ equalizer with a free header in the 39th minute. United then took the lead for the first time through Garnacho’s second goal, capitalizing on Antony’s exquisite delivery.

    Yet, with the game reaching its dramatic conclusion, Chelsea were awarded a late penalty after Diogo Dalot’s foul on Noni Madueke. Palmer stepped up once again, coolly converting the spot-kick to level the score. In a final twist, Palmer completed his hat trick with a deflected effort off Scott McTominay, sealing a memorable victory for Chelsea.

    The result leaves Manchester United in sixth place, trailing Tottenham by nine points in fifth, while Chelsea climb into the top half of the table, occupying the 10th position.
