Luton 2 Chelsea 3. Chelsea end 2023 with a win that spectacularly showcases both their potential and flaws.
A clinical first half saw excellent finishes from Palmer and Madueke. Palmer then got his eighth Premier League goal (only eight players have more) and Chelsea were cruising.
But Barkley and Adebayo got battling Luton late goals as Chelsea went into their shell. In the end, #CFC had to hang on, and seemed to suddenly lose all confidence late on. Silva so important, though.
A stressful three points for the visitors to say the least.🟠🧊
Cole Palmer: “I think, hopefully, this is just the start. I'm trying to adapt to the new life as quick as possible, the new teammates and the city”.
“Everything is new to me, and hopefully, I can show more on the pitch as well”, told TNT.
Pochettino says there’s too many players at the club that need to step up and perform, but also that we have lots of injuries.
Noni Madueke on Cole Palmer’s finishing to TNT. “That's why they call him Cold Palmer." 🥶
If the directors and owners want any proof that Chelsea need more composure and experience to deal with tough moments, they can just go and review the Luton game and watch Silva and then watch the rest of the players. 12 clearances and was fuming at full time, the standards that we need.
