Chelsea hat-trick ace Palmer: Crazy game! Madness

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer was full of pride after his hat-trick in their 4-3 win against Manchester United.

Palmer struck twice in injury time, once from the spot, to secure the win.

He said: "Crazy game. When we scored in the 98th minute I thought let's go for it. Madness.

"I didn't know what to do. I was running round when I scored.

"A hat-trick is a hat-trick. It was my first one, I'm really happy about it.

"I had a few penalties this season. I'm just going to continue to try to score them. If I get penalties, I'm going to try to score, I'm not going to try to miss.

"When we scored he [manager Mauricio Pochettino] said two minutes, come on. He's always trying to drive us on. We went for it and thankfully we scored.

"It's a big winner. It's a massive momentum booster. It puts everyone in a good mood. Hopefully we can kick on."
