Palmer reflects on Chelsea’s win vs Newcastle

Chelsea returned to action on Monday night when they hosted Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

The game ended in a 3-2 win for the Blues with Cole Palmer making it to the scoreboard.

In a post-match statement, the 21-year-old former Man City star explained how Chelsea approached the match against the Magpies, pointing to his side’s passion and bravery which helped earn the victory.

‘We had the courage to play which is what we need as a young team,’ Palmer began. ‘We are going to make mistakes, so it’s about going on to the next one and the next one.

‘We’ve had some difficult results recently, the cup final versus Liverpool, the game against Wolves – so to get points is vital for us. I think we showed a bit of passion and courage. Winning those second balls and not getting bullied.

‘When they scored we thought we knew we had to defend better than before so we could get those three points and take a step in the right direction. It’s about taking it game by game and having good performances.

‘If we win football matches, the fans will be happy and we want to do that for them. It’s about taking it game by game and seeing how high we can finish.’
