"Cole Palmer claimed Chelsea "deserved better than they got" as they fell to a 3-1 defeat in their opening Champions League game against Bayern Munich. The Blues found themselves 2-0 down inside 27 minutes, with Trevoh Chalobah scoring an own goal and Harry Kane netting a penalty. Palmer halved the deficit with a superb strike in the 29th minute, but could not inspire his team-mates to a comeback, with Kane putting Bayern back in control after the hour."
"Palmer, who also created two chances and registered a 100% pass accuracy in the final third, has now contributed to 73 goals (45 scored, 28 assisted) since making his debut for Chelsea in September 2023. Among Premier League players in all competitions during this period, only Mohamed Salah (97) and Erling Haaland (85) have registered more combined goals and assists."
