Going from 2-0 down to 3-2 up, United was on the verge of a stunning Stamford Bridge triumph.
But Chelsea were awarded the points by Palmer, who converted a penalty in the 110th minute and then scored the winning goal a minute later with a deflected shot from outside the box.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino of Chelsea predicted that this game would finally win over the fans’ faith in the squad.
This is manager Erik ten Hag’s 12th league loss of the season, and it will certainly add extra pressure to Sunday’s match against Liverpool, who are pursuing the crown.
A lesson must be derived from this. You should be prepared to handle this kind of situation when you’re a Manchester United player, Ten Hag stated.Conor Gallagher scored for Chelsea in the fourth minute from inside the penalty area, and Palmer converted a penalty in the nineteenth minute to put the Blues up 2-0.
United, nevertheless, rallied magnificently, and in the 34th minute, Alejandro Garnacho scored a goal to restore parity after Moises Caicedo had made a mistake.
Five minutes later, Diogo Dalot’s cross was headed in by Bruno Fernandes, leveling the score.
In the 67th minute, United took the lead thanks to a goal by Garnacho. He finished off a fantastic cross from Antony’s outside foot and sent the ball past Djordje Petrovic.
Before Dalot’s penalty foul on Noni Madueke in the penalty area and Palmer’s late intervention, United appeared to be coasting.
A huge lift to momentum, that’s what it is. It lifts everyone’s spirits. The hope is that we can continue,” Palmer stated.
