Chelsea broke the hearts of its fans before it succeeded in achieving a difficult victory over Luton Town, 3-2, in the 20th round of the English Premier League competitions.
Although the match seemed very easy for Mauricio Pochettino's squad after controlling its course, creating chances and even scoring goals, things turned around in the last minutes.
Chelsea took the lead through Cole Palmer in the 12th minute and Noni Modike in the 37th minute, then the former scored the third goal in the 70th minute.
But suddenly the hosts rose up and scored a goal to reduce the difference through Ross Barkley in the 80th minute, then Elijah Adebayo scored the second goal in the 87th minute, but Luton's efforts to return with a point failed with the Blues' defensive desperation.
Cole Palmer is the Chelsea player who has contributed the most goals in 2023, even though he only joined in September, where he contributed 12 goals, 8 by scoring and 4 by assisting.
Palmer makes the most passes inside the penalty area (74), the most chances created (27), the most goalscoring contributions (12), the top scorer (8), the most chances created (7), as well as the most goals created (4).
Palmer joined the Blues on the last days of the Mercato last summer for 47 million euros, coming from Manchester City.
The victory, which came thanks to the brilliance of the “magical talent” over Luton Town, raised Chelsea’s score to 28 points in tenth place in the Premier League standings.
