Cole Palmer explains 'cold' celebration after dramatic Chelsea win

Cole Palmer explained his celebration after Chelsea's dramatic 3-2 win over Luton Town in the Premier League.

Palmer came up with the goods once again for Mauricio Pochettino on Saturday, setting up Noni Madueke and scoring a brace to seal all three points at Kenilworth Road.

While the 21-year-old's first goal showcased his powerful finishing, his second strike displayed his exceptional composure, as he rounded the goalkeeper before checking back inside the defender and rolling the ball home.

Reeling away in celebration, the England international covered his mouth before motioning that he was cold, rubbing his arms and puffing out his cheeks.

When quizzed on his celebration after the game, Palmer revealed he was replicating his friend Morgan Rogers, who used the same celebration after scoring for Middlesbrough recently.

"That's why they call him 'Cold Palmer' innit?" 😅

The pair both came through Manchester City's academy, but have since moved onto pastures new.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Palmer said: "My boy did one for Middlesborough, so I told him I'd do it."

Madueke also spoke about his teammate's calmness in front of goal, joking: "That's why they call him cold Palmer!"

The winger added: "We stayed together in the last moments. We know it's a difficult place to come.

"To be fair, we made it hard for ourselves but I'm just happy we got the three points. They made it difficult for a lot of top sides this year here."
