Cole Palmer scores a stunning penalty to secure a 4-4 tie for Chelsea against Manchester City, and his celebration is very cold.
After Ruben Dias hauled down Armando Broja, referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot, and it was former City midfielder Palmer who took the penalty.
And the 20-year-old delivered his penalty with pinpoint accuracy, sending Ederson the wrong way and breaking City hearts at Stamford Bridge.
He responded by celebrating in front of the City end, a fitting climax to a truly incredible game of football.
Nobody wanted the game to finish, especially Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who erupted in a wrath at the officials after the final whistle as his team prepared to respond.
On 25 minutes, Erling Haaland scored a penalty kick, before Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling put Chelsea ahead.
Manuel Akanji scored with a header just before halftime, and the second half was even more tense.
When the ball looked to contact Haaland’s crotch before crossing the line, he restored City’s lead.

On 67 minutes, Nicolas Jackson equalized from close range, before Rodri believed he had won it for Pep Guardiola’s side with a deflected long-range goal.
However, Palmer, Broja, and Chelsea would have the final say in the game, securing a point for Pochettino and his team.
Despite losing late on, City maintains their lead at the top of the league, one point clear of Liverpool heading into the international break. Chelsea, on the other hand, is in 10th place, 10 points below the top four.
We probably wouldn’t mind if the game went on for another 90 minutes.
