Palmer scored twice and set up Blues’ third in win
Cole Palmer said that Enzo Maresca is building something special after Chelsea produced a stunning performance to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the first final of Fifa’s expanded Club World Cup.
Palmer was in astonishing form at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, scoring two brilliant goals and setting up João Pedro to make it 3-0 by half‑time. Chelsea were underdogs going into their clash with the European champions but they were set up brilliantly by Maresca, whose young side will go into next season with incredible belief after being crowned world champions.
