Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has hailed Chelsea forward Cole Palmer as one of the best passers in Premier League history.
In the game where the “Blues” won 2-1 at home against Newcastle last Sunday, in the moment of the goal to take the lead 1-0, the 22-year-old player crossed the ball from in front of his own goal during a counter-attack to Pedro Neto who broke away on the left before swinging it into the middle for Nicolas Jackson to score a superb goal, including scoring the winning goal for the team to seize 3 points after Alexander Isak scored an equalizer for the “Magpies”.UFABET
Carragher said of the pass for Chelsea’s opening goal: “That 60-yard pass… I mean, it was one of the best passes I’ve ever seen, not just this season, but in the Premier League.”
“Pulling two or three Newcastle players and then crossing to Neto and Jackson is in the right position.”
As Keane said of Palmer: “It’s brilliant. I love watching the lad play. Even his awareness when he gets the ball, he knows what’s going to happen and how to pass it.”
“With Palmer’s pass – he knows there’s space behind him, he knows what’s going to happen, Zola said before the game that when he gets the ball he knows the situation around him, not many players can do that.”
