Cole Palmer, a former Manchester City player, converted a penalty kick in the final minute of stoppage time, which resulted in an exhilarating 4–4 draw for Chelsea following an extraordinary, hard-fought match at Stamford Bridge.

The Premier League champions were astonished in the dying seconds when substitute Armando Broja charged into the penalty area, prompting Ruben Dias to foul, and Palmer, under duress, converted the penalty kick that incited hysteria among the home crowd. The champions took the lead on a goal deflected in by Rodri after the unfortunate Thiago Silva made an error.

Erling Haaland had previously given City the lead twice, the first time on a penalty kick, prior to Raheem Sterling and Silva regaining the advantage with their respective goals.

Twenty-two minutes after Haaland’s second goal restored a 3-2 tie, Manuel Akanji headed in an equalizer to send the match into halftime. Nevertheless, Chelsea continued to fight on as Nicolas Jackson equalized the score at 3-3.

Then it appeared that Rodri had prevailed, but the team Palmer had left in September was damaged by his extremely late intervention.

Twenty-one minutes into the game, a contentious penalty call for City sparked the entire incident. As the ball floated into the six-yard box, it appeared that Marc Cucurella and Haaland were exchanging passes. However, when the two collided, the defender received a charge for hauling Haaland down.

After a lengthy delay, VAR affirmed the decision of referee Anthony Taylor, and Haaland maintained his composure to immediately dismiss Robert Sanchez.

Chelsea had the upper hand in the beginning and were now anticipating a swift response. Outside the penalty area, Reece James delivered a powerful free-kick that forced Ederson to make an acrobatic fingertip save.

There would be an extremely brief respite. Following a right-footed shot by Conor Gallagher in the ensuing corner, Silva evaded his defender and equalized the score with a glance header that curved past the frame of the goal.

Haaland provided City with an immediate response; however, the striker could only direct Phil Foden’s cross into the side net due to its slight overdepth. Following that, Foden made an attempt to achieve the identical objective by employing a shrewd left-foot drive that curled within inches of a post.

The second goal for Chelsea was caused by an error by Josko Gvardiol. Moises Caicedo intercepted the ball in the deep middle section and passed it to Gallagher. By overlapping to the right, he connected with James, whose pressure caused the City defender to err, thereby enabling James to cross the ball and set up unmarked Sterling to tap it in.

Following Haaland’s evasion of the center defenders of Chelsea, Sanchez preserved his team’s lead with an outstanding low-left save.

However, just moments before halftime, he was unable to prevent Akanji from reaching the halftime score. Chelsea intercepted a corner kick from City. Foden returned the ball to Bernardo Silva near the box’s perimeter; neither James nor Silva pursued Akanji as he entered the area and converted a 2-2.

Two minutes into the second half, Haaland restored City’s lead as the game took an unexpected turn.

Julian Alvarez initiated the action in the midfield; he then passed the ball to Foden, who carried it deep into the Chelsea half before transferring it back to the advancing Argentine. As the defense was extended, he completed a pass to Haaland, who ducked under James’s gaze in order to bundle the ball across the line.

A ferocious left-field run created space for a shot, and Jeremy Doku came perilously close to increasing the lead for his team. By slicing in close and striking low, Sanchez saved an outstanding attempt.

Palmer, who is now regarded as a crucial component of Pochettino’s attack, deftly maneuvered through the heart of City with extraordinary equilibrium and control, while Ederson was denied a goal that would go down in history.

In the 65th minute, Chelsea achieved a second tie, and their heroic endeavor was duly rewarded.

Substitute Mykhailo Mudryk assumed possession of the ball and initiated a charge to the left. Caicedo, who received it in the infield, set up Gallagher for a 25-yard strike on goal. Jackson, who had just completed a hat-trick against Tottenham, was only able to deflect the shot into his path after Ederson blocked it. Jackson slammed it in after touching it.

Substitute Malo Gusto struck the crossbar after attempting to enter the field from the right and wasting sterling’s valiant and outstanding attempt to pass the ball to him. Later on, Chelsea would come to lament the event.

It appeared that City had taken the lead with four minutes remaining on Rodri’s assist, after which the match had been tense the entire time.

His effort from outside the box appeared to be going awry when the ball broke, but a deft deflection off the unfortunate Silva propelled it past the unwary Sanchez and appeared to break the hearts of Chelsea.

The extraordinary match in west London came to an end with Palmer’s final words, Broja’s late run into the box, and Dias’s hurried challenge, just as City believed they had secured the victory.
