Chelsea Win Seven-goal Thriller with Man Utd
Liverpool regains Premier League top spot from Arsenal
Cole Palmer scored twice after the 100-minute mark to complete his hattrick and earn Chelsea a remarkable 4-3 win against Manchester United despite having previously given up a two-goal lead.
It was a breathless start at Stamford Bridge, with Blues captain Conor Gallagher slamming the hosts in front and Palmer doubling the lead from the spot after Antony fouled Marc Cucurella.
But Alejandro Garnacho sparked a
United comeback when he pounced on Moises Caicedo's poor pass across the back.
Bruno Fernandes pulled United level just five minutes later when he headed in Diogo Dalot's cross.
Garnacho scored his second when he headed in an excellent outside-of-boot cross from Antony past goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, with what United thought was the winner.
That was before a dramatic end to the match saw Chelsea take all three points.
Elsewhere on the night, Liverpool defeated Sheffield United 3-1 to move back to the top of the Premier League and maintain control of the title race.
The hosts were gifted a 17thminute lead when Darwin Nunez charged down goalkeeper Ivo Grbic's clearance with the ball rebounding into the net.
Despite having 84% of possession in the first half and wasting numerous chances, Liverpool conceded a 58th-minute equaliser as Gustavo Hamer's header bounced off Conor Bradley and into his own net.
But Argentina's World Cup-winning Alexis Mac Allister - nominated for March's Premier League Player of the Month award - produced a stunning 20-yard strike which flew into the top corner to put the hosts back in front with 14 minutes left. Mac Allister nearly grabbed a wonderful second but saw his curling free-kick bounce off the crossbar.
