Damning Cole Palmer stat emerges after Man Utd draw as fans all ask the same question about Chelsea star

Chelsea Secures Draw at Old Trafford as Caicedo’s Volley Answers Fernandes’ Penalty

Chelsea managed to secure a hard-fought point at Old Trafford after coming from behind in their Premier League clash against Manchester United, now managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy. United took the lead in the second half, with Bruno Fernandes converting a penalty. However, Chelsea responded just minutes later as Moises Caicedo’s well-timed volley leveled the score.

The draw lifts Chelsea to fourth place in the league, overtaking Arsenal, while United move to 13th as they seek to recover from a disappointing start to the season.

One of Chelsea’s key players, Cole Palmer, was unable to make his usual impact. The young star, who has proven decisive for Enzo Maresca’s team on several occasions, faced criticism for his limited goal-scoring record against top-six teams. Since joining Chelsea in 2023, Palmer has scored 29 Premier League goals, yet only two of those have come in non-penalty situations against the league’s biggest clubs. This statistic has sparked debate on social media, with fans questioning if he’s reached the elite level expected of him.

Some fans defended Palmer, highlighting his man-of-the-match performances against clubs like United, Arsenal, and City, while others compared him unfavorably to players like Mo Salah. For now, the young Chelsea star remains a focal point of discussion among supporters, who continue to debate his status as one of the league’s best.
