Chelsea vs Manchester City 4-4 highlights| Premier League match
In a riveting encounter hailed as one of the Premier League’s most remarkable fixtures, Chelsea luminary Cole Palmer secured a 4-4 draw against Manchester City with a last-minute penalty. Referee Anthony Taylor’s decisive point to the spot followed Ruben Dias’ foul on Armando Broja, and it was the former City midfielder, Palmer, who adeptly converted the penalty, confounding Ederson and leaving the City faithful disheartened at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer’s celebratory display before the City supporters served as a poignant conclusion to an utterly staggering football spectacle. The match’s intensity was such that even Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, incensed by the officials, unleashed a furious tirade post the final whistle as his team sought a counter-attack.

The scoring saga saw Erling Haaland initiating proceedings with a penalty on the 25th minute, followed by Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling propelling Chelsea into the lead. Manuel Akanji’s commanding header restored parity before halftime, setting the stage for an even more breathless second half.
Haaland, controversially credited with a goal that seemingly involved contact with his groin, reclaimed City’s lead. Nicolas Jackson equalized from close range on the 67th minute, and Rodri’s deflected long-range strike seemingly secured the win for Pep Guardiola’s side. However, the trio of Palmer, Broja, and Chelsea had the last word, securing a crucial point for Pochettino’s side.
Despite the late concession, City’s single point preserved their position atop the table, maintaining a slender one-point lead over Liverpool heading into the international break. Meanwhile, Chelsea finds themselves in 10th place, trailing the top four by 10 points.
