Cole Palmer hails Chelsea's dramatic 4-3 win over Man United as 'a massive momentum booster' as the hat-trick hero reveals what Mauricio Pochettino said in between his stoppage time strikes

Cole Palmer scored in the 10th and 11th minutes of stoppage time to secure an extraordinary comeback for Chelsea, sparking wild scenes at Stamford Bridge as manager Mauricio Pochettino led the celebrations at full-time.

Manchester United thought they had sealed their own turnaround after coming back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2, only for Palmer to strike twice against the team he supported in his youth to secure his hat-trick and the victory.

The fact that United were leading as the clock passed 99 minutes and 17 seconds meant this was the latest that a side has ever led in a Premier League match they have gone on to lose.

After a contest in which there were a staggering 47 shots – 28 for Chelsea and 19 for United – Palmer said: 'Crazy game. When the eight minutes got added on, it gave us a lift. Madness. I didn't know what to do. I was running round when I scored. To win like that, there is nothing better.'

Palmer's hat-trick involved two penalties and he said: 'A hat-trick is a hat-trick. It was my first one. I'm really happy about it. I've had a few penalties this season. If I get penalties, I'm going to try to score, I'm not going to try to miss.'

'When we scored he [Pochettino] said "two minutes, come on". He's always trying to drive us on. We went for it and thankfully we scored.

'It's a big winner. It's a massive momentum booster. It puts everyone in a good mood. Hopefully we can kick on.'

Pochettino added: 'It is a start to building a connection with the fans and it will be very helpful for the future of us.'

United manager Erik ten Hag said after all the mayhem: 'It was an amazing game for the neutral. A fantastic football game with a lot of quality. Manchester United dominated the game but we made individual errors that cost us the game. We have to learn from it.

'When you are a Man United player you should already know how to deal with this circumstance. I enjoyed how my team were playing, it was fantastic. We dominated the ball, we dominated the opponent. 

'In five days we dropped five points. That is unacceptable. We should have a high standard if we want to compete for Champions League football.'

United captain Bruno Fernandes added: 'We had the game in our hands and we gave it away. It's a big game (against Liverpool on Sunday). I don't need to say anything (to my team-mates). If I need to say anything it's a problem because this is a massive club.'
