Chelsea midfielder Palmer delighted with brace in Cup semi win

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer is delighted reaching the Carabao Cup final.

Palmer scored twice as Chelsea defeated Middlesbrough 6-1 in the semifinal, reaching the final 6-2 on aggregate.

He later said: "After the first game, we knew it'd be difficult but to get the win and go to Wembley for the first time this season, it's going to be a good day.

"I missed three sitters in the first game so it was always in the back of my mind coming into this game. To score two and go through to Wembley, I'm happy.

"We've not had the best of starts, there is no hiding it but to go to Wembley is a great opportunity to get a trophy and we're looking forward to it."
