Talk about a rollercoaster! 🎢 Chelsea pulled off a jaw-dropping comeback against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, overcoming a shock 2-0 deficit within 11 minutes to snatch a 4-3 victory. Cole Palmer was the hero of the hour, netting two ice-cold penalties to keep the Blues’ title hopes alive. 💙
🔵 The Wild Start: Spurs fans were buzzing early when defensive slips by Marc Cucurella gifted goals to Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski. But Chelsea flipped the script—Jadon Sancho’s rocket at 17’ ignited the fightback, and Palmer’s first penalty (61’) leveled the score. ⚡
🔥 Chaos Reigns: Enzo Fernandez’s thunderbolt put Chelsea ahead before Palmer sealed the deal with another spot-kick. Son Heung-min’s last-gasp goal was mere consolation for Spurs, who’ve now dropped two games this week. 😬
📈 Title Charge? Chelsea sit second in the Premier League (31 pts), just four behind Liverpool. Manager Enzo Maresca downplayed title talks but praised his squad’s mental grit: \"The reaction was strong… we stayed in control.\" 💪
🤕 Spurs’ Struggles: Losing Cristian Romero to injury didn’t help Ange Postecoglou’s side, now languishing in 11th. The Aussie manager called it \"painful\" but vowed to regroup. Can they bounce back? 🤔
