Cole Palmer's penalty gives Chelsea a share of the spoils 

The Chelsea team under Mauricio Pochettino hasn’t had a great start to the current campaign in the English Premier League. On Sunday at the Stamford Bridge, there was a vibe in the air as champions Manchester City came calling.

Erling Haaland scored the first goal of the game in the 25^th minute to give City the lead. Four minutes later Chelsea were back into the contest thanks to Thiago Silva who scored the equalizing goal in the 29^th minute.

Former Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling gave Chelsea the lead in the 37^th minute. Chelsea’s constant pressure had worked well as they cracked up on the Manchester City defence. It looked like a proper Pochettino team playing with passion, precision, and pace. 

Manchester City then equalized in the dying moments of the 1^st half thanks to a goal from defender Manuel Akanji. The two teams went into the break at 2-2 as more action was set to unfold in the second half.

Just like he had done in the 1^st half, Erling Haaland yet again gave City the lead to make it 3-2 just two minutes after the restart. Chelsea threw more numbers behind the ball as they started to display more attacking instincts.

Nicolas Jackson then made it 3-3 in the 67^th minute in what was turning out to be a fascinating contest. The next 20 minutes saw action at both ends of the park with each team coming close to scoring a goal.

In the 86^th minute, Rodri scored the 4^th goal for City to sink the hearts of the Chelsea fans. The travelling fans were elated as they were now just a few minutes away from all three points. That elation turned into agony when Chelsea was awarded a penalty with Cole Palmer scoring in the 95^th minute. The game ended 4-4 and is now being widely touted to be the best game this season of the English Premier League.
