Mauricio Pochettino hailed a 바카라turning point바카라 in Chelsea바카라s strained relationship with their fans after Cole Palmer바카라s stoppage-time double completed a hat-trick and sealed a 4-3 win against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. (More Football News)
United looked to have the match won until, in the seventh minute of stoppage time, Diogo Dalot fell into Noni Madueke to concede a penalty from which Palmer scored to seemingly rescue a point.
But there was more drama to come. With almost the game바카라s final kick, Palmer blasted at goal and, via a deflection from Scott McTominay, scored to bury Erik ten Hag바카라s side and spark joyous scenes amongst home supporters.
Relations between fans and the club have soured as Chelsea바카라s fortunes have plummeted, but the response at the end was one of unbridled delight, with Pochettino predicting a fresh start off the back of this win.
바카라It was amazing,바카라 he said. 바카라We were the better team today and it was fair we scored in the the last minute.
바카라We started really well, 2-0 (up), the game was under control, then we made a mistake and suffered an emotional impact. It wasn바카라t easy to deal with. In the second half we controlled the game (but) conceded in transitions.
바카라It was important to finish like that, creating the connection between our fans and players. It바카라s a very good thing that happened today. It should be a turning point for the fans바카라 trust in the team.바카라
It had all looked like being a far simpler affair when his team raced into a two-goal lead inside 20 minutes, Conor Gallagher squeezing a shot beneath Andre Onana바카라s dive, then a penalty clipped into the corner by Palmer.
United were overwhelmed by Pochettino바카라s side attacking ferociously, but an error by Moises Caicedo changed the nature of the game as a loose ball straight to Alejandro Garnacho saw the forward race away to score.
The game was level minutes later as Bruno Fernandes stealed away at the far post to nod Dalot바카라s cross beyond Djordje Petrovic.
Garnacho바카라s header from Antony바카라s superb ball midway through the half looked like being the winner.
Then came Palmer바카라s crazy intervention at the death, as Chelsea breathed life into their bid to qualify for Europe.
바카라It was really unfair (to be losing),바카라 said Pochettino. 바카라Why were we losing the game. Football is like this. But we always kept believing.
바카라We were saying to the players 바카라two minutes, two minutes바카라. (At 2-2) we believed we could score the winning goal.
바카라It was a must-win game if we wanted to reduce the gap above us. It was so, so important.바카라
A visibly downcast Ten Hag reflected on poor decision-making that led to his team바카라s defeat.
바카라We were in a winning poison with very good football and scoring great goals. Then in stoppage time, we didn바카라t bring the win over the line.
바카라You have to do your job, you have to make the right decisions, and we didn바카라t react quick enough to avoid this situation.
바카라We dominated the game, especially our wide players were a danger: Garnacho, Antony.
바카라We have to make better decisions. You saw how we score from counters. We can be such a massive threat and we바카라ve seen again today an example.
바카라But we have to read when to keep the ball, especially when you are winning. Keep the ball, pass and move and switch the play instead of giving it way.바카라
