After Chelsea’s cup victory over Leicester City on Sunday, Carney Chukwuemeka had nothing but appreciation for one of his teammates.

This afternoon’s 4-2 FA Cup victory over Leicester at home ensured Chelsea’s advancement to the quarterfinals.

Carney Chukwuemeka, who came on as a substitute but had a significant impact, scored a goal in stoppage time to put the Blues ahead 3-2. It was Cole Palmer’s spectacular backheel assist, by the way, that set up the goal.

After Chelsea’s win over the weekend, Chukwuemeka praised Palmer for setting up his goal.

In an interview with BBC Sport, Chukwuemeka stated: “The coach said go on and express yourself, which I did.” (Broadcast at 2:58 pm on 17 March). He promised to help me out and play fair if I came on before the game, and Cole delivered. The second I played it, I knew he would track me down because of his incredible intelligence. His turn comes next.Magic by Cole PalmerOur guess is that Chelsea’s players are smitten with playing with Palmer at the moment.

For the Blues this season, Palmer has scored 14 goals and added 12 assists.The attacking playmaker, who is just 21 years old, had exceptional vision and talent when he set up Chukwuemeka in the Leicester game.

Jason Cundy praised Palmer’s “genius” assist in the FA Cup while speaking on Chelsea’s official app (2:35pm, 17 March). Actually, though, this is the kind of thing he’s been up to during the entire season.

Opposing defenses have a tough time stopping him when he receives the ball on the right or in open areas in the middle.

Becаuse оf his оverаll influence, he is currently оur stаrting left bаck fоr Chelseа, but will he be аble tо crаck Englаnd’s stаrting eleven? During the upcоming internаtiоnаl breаk, it wоuld be fаntаstic if he cоuld plаy in the mаtches аgаinst Brаzil аnd Belgium.

If Chelsea can capitalise on Palmer’s form and quality going forward, they may be able to salvage a disappointing season.
