Cole Palmer stars as Chelsea produce a remarkable comeback to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a thrilling London derby.

Cucurella later swapped his boots in a bizarre moment to avoid further mishaps.

Chelsea’s response was immediate, with Jadon Sancho pulling one back before halftime.

The second half belonged to the Blues as Palmer equalized with a calm penalty before Enzo Fernandez unleashed a stunning half-volley to give Chelsea the lead.

Palmer sealed the victory with a sensational Panenka penalty, extending his flawless Premier League penalty record to 12/12, the longest run by any player in the league’s history .

His contributions also set a new club record for the most Premier League goal involvements in a calendar year, reaching an impressive 37.

Despite a late goal from Son Heung-min to set up a nervy finish, Chelsea held firm to claim a vital three points.
