Chelsea sensation Cole Palmer breaks silence on Erling Haaland altercation after attempting to earwig Man City team chat in 4-4 thriller

The City academy graduate came up against his former club on Sunday, showing them the player they let go with a stellar display capped off with an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/watch-cole-palmer-ice-cold-chelsea-star-hits-man-city-fans-brutal-shrug-celebration-equaliser-against-former-club/blt12e8492ebc50e163" target="_blank">ice-cold stoppage time penalty to make it 4-4</a>. Palmer was heavily involved in the action all match, and almost scored another from an Eden Hazard-esque individual run. He also attempted to wind up his former team-mates, as he tried to earwig City's late team huddle.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Palmer has since lifted the lid on that incident, which saw <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/watch-chelsea-cole-palmer-attempts-listen-manchester-city-squad-huddle-abruptly-shoved-away-erling-haaland/blt0e148dc3191badbf" target="_blank">Erling Haaland push him away</a> roughly, as he told reporters on Wednesday: "No I didn't hear anything [from the team chat], I was just having a laugh to be honest! I think Erling found it pretty funny, I don't think the others did."

WHAT PALMER SAID

Palmer's jokey actions will only have endeared himself even more to the Chelsea faithful, after his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rip-off-shrewd-bargain-cole-palmer-proving-man-city-doubters-wrong-chelsea/blte5175a4c18e07169" target="_blank">impressive start to life in west London</a> has already made him a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge. It also saw him <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-cole-palmer-england-call-up-man-city-rico-lewis/blt3e2a141939ee2396" target="_blank">earn a call up to the England senior squad</a> from the Under-21s set-up - a decision which he revealed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/watch-thought-it-was-a-blag-cole-palmer-teased-maiden-england-call-up-chelsea-team-mate-conor-gallagher/blt033af8967a78d2cf" target="_blank">he thought was a joke.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Palmer has been involved in eight goal contributions in 11 matches for Chelsea this season. He tops the club's assists rankings with four to his name, alongside midfielder Conor Gallagher.

DID YOU KNOW?

A maiden senior international appearance awaits. The Chelsea forward has featured heavily for England at youth level and starred during the Three Lions' triumphant Under-21 World Cup run in July. He will look to get his first minutes under Gareth Southgate when they take on Malta and North Macedonia in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/euro-2024-tickets/bltdf3e110b3b92b6b3" target="_blank">Euro 2024 qualifying</a> on November 17 and 20, respectively.
