Cole Palmer names Chelsea’s ‘best player on the pitch’ in Man Utd win

Cole Palmer has named Romeo Lavia as ‘the best player on the pitch’ in Chelsea ’s 2-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday. After a goalless first half at Stamford Bridge, Morgan Rogers opened the scoring before Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea’s lead from the penalty spot. United were also reduced to 10 men as VAR intervened to punish Lisandro Martinez for hitting Wesley Fofana with his forearm. Lavia, meanwhile, delivered an impressive performance at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield alongside Moises Caicedo .
