Cole Palmer netted an incredible last-minute brace to complete a late comeback for Chelsea against Manchester United.
Chelsea led 2-0 in the first half before crumbling, with Man United taking the lead until the latter minutes of the match.
However, Palmer bagged an incredible brace with just 82 seconds between his goals as the youngster completed the turnaround for the Blues.
The former Man City youngster’s strike became the latest in Premier League history.
It was a night to forget for Mason Mount, who came on with his side leading 3-2 at his former club.

The Cobham graduate was booed onto the pitch by his former fans and he failed to make an impact as he saw his side fall to a late defeat.
Speaking after the match, Palmer couldn’t believe what had happened just moments earlier.
When asked ‘What just happened?’ by TNT Sports, he said: ‘I don’t know!
‘2-0 up. Then like I said last week silly mistakes. Eight minutes added on gave us a lift. Madness.’
‘We need to try and win as many games as possible, and to win like that. There’s nothing better.’
The winger continued to talk through his late goals.
‘When we scored the fans lifted us, we lifted ourselves. The gaffer said there was two minutes left so we thought we’d go for it. Thankfully it’s worked!’
Palmer, who netted two penalties in the match, continued to discuss the pressure on him from the spot.
‘I’ve taken many penalties. I’m not going to miss a penalty am I!? To score in the last minute… It’s just crazy.’
