During Chelsea's match against Newcastle United on Sunday, Cole Palmer made a remarkable pass that led to the team's first goal. According to Jamie Carragher, it may even be considered one of the best passes in Premier League history. Palmer had initially thought he had scored the goal himself, but unfortunately, VAR deemed him offside.
However, Palmer didn't let this setback stop him. In the second half, he played a stunning 60-yard pass to Pedro Neto, who then made a run down the left flank and provided a perfect cross for Nicolas Jackson to score. This goal helped Chelsea regain the lead after Newcastle had equalized before halftime through Alexander Isak.
During his halftime analysis for Sky Sports, Carragher couldn't help but be in awe of Palmer's game-changing pass. He exclaimed, "This pass over 60 yards... I mean, that's one of the best passes I've seen, never mind this season, but in the Premier League." He was impressed by how Palmer was able to take two or three Newcastle players out of the game and set up Neto and Jackson for the goal.
Meanwhile, Roy Keane also had high praise for Palmer, stating that he is one of the few players in the Premier League with such exceptional awareness on the pitch. "Absolutely brilliant, I love watching this kid," Keane said. "Even his awareness when he receives the ball, he knows exactly what's happening and how to execute the pass."
According to Keane, Palmer's pass was a perfect example of his awareness on the pitch. He knew that there was space behind the Newcastle defense and was able to pick out Neto with ease. This type of awareness is rare in players, and even former Chelsea player Gianfranco Zola had mentioned it before the game.
Palmer's pass was crucial in securing a 2-1 victory for Chelsea, with Palmer himself scoring the winning goal in the second half. This victory puts them in fourth place in the Premier League table with 17 points from nine games. It was a well-deserved win for Enzo Maresca's side, who continue to impress with their performance this season.
