Chelsea have completed a dramatic injury-time comeback to beat rivals Manchester United 4-3, scoring twice in the dying moments of the match as they looked destined for defeat.
The Stamford Bridge faithful were ashen-faced as United led 3-2 with eight minutes of stoppage time remaining, until a controversial penalty converted by young star Cole Palmer in the 100th minute appeared to have saved the Blues a point.
As they did last time out against Brentford, United snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and could only sink to their knees in agony as Palmer delivered the killer blow 60 seconds later - his powerful shot deflected off a Manchester defender and into the net to send the home fans into delirium.
United had come back from going 2-0 down early through a goal from Conor Gallagher and Palmer’s first penalty. Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes evened the score at 2-2 before halftime and Garnacho headed his team in front after the break.
But Diogo Dalot’s clumsy challenge on Noni Madueke earned Chelsea a second penalty and Palmer converted in the 110th.
