"Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Sunday had all the twists and turns of a classic piece of theatre, as two London rivals went toe-to-toe at Stamford Bridge. The Blues lost midfielder Moises Caicedo to a first-half red card, only to take the lead through Trevoh Chalobah before Mikel Merino secured a draw for the Premier League leaders."
"One man who certainly looked like he enjoyed the show was Cole Palmer, who watched from the sidelines as an unused substitute following his recent return from injury. The England forward was warming up on the touchline when former Blues team-mate Noni Madueke, who joined the Gunners last summer, came on as a 57th-minute substitute for his first appearance back at Stamford Bridge since his departure."
"The Chelsea fans did not hide their feelings towards the winger, with his entrance met by a cacophony of boos. And footage from the crowd, filmed from just behind Palmer, shows the 23-year-old turning to the Blues supporters and greeting the jeers with a knowing nod and a smirk."
