Cole Palmer's long-awaited return to scoring came in a crucial match where Chelsea beat Liverpool 3-1. Coach Enzo Maresca noted that Palmer, despite a three-month goal drought, maintained his training levels and spirit. His penalty ended the drought at an important time as Chelsea aims for the Conference League final and a top-five finish in the league. Palmer expressed that the lack of goals motivated him to improve, emphasizing teamwork and resilience in facing online negativity. His role is vital for Chelsea in the remaining matches of the season.
Obviously shit happens. I went three months without scoring but it just gives me more motivation, more fight to do well, not just for myself but for the team.
We need Cole and Nico [Jackson] to score. Now we have three more [league] games, and on Thursday the second leg [in Europe], and hopefully he can help us.
