Cole Palmer returned to form with a stunning performance as Chelsea defeated Liverpool 3-1 to move closer to a place in the Champions League. Palmer, who had gone 18 games without a goal, was the catalyst for the Blues, creating all three goals and scoring the last one from the penalty spot to end his goal drought. The 22-year-old midfielder, who made the most shots, created the most chances, and had the most touches in the opposition box, now has 37 goals in 67 league games for Chelsea, putting him 10th on the club's all-time league top scorers list. The win moves Chelsea to within one point of fourth-placed Newcastle United, setting up a crucial visit to Tyneside on Sunday.
