Live Chelsea vs PSG: Palmer stuns Paris in 30 minutes

Chelsea have already taken the lead against Paris Saint-Germain in this Club World Cup final. In a fiercely contested and high-octane first half, the Blues made their dominance count thanks to an inspired Cole Palmer.

On a well-worked move down the right, Malo Gusto capitalized on a major error from Nuno Mendes to surge into space. Initially stopped by Lucas Beraldo, the London full-back saw the ball bounce back into his path. He kept his cool and delivered a perfect assist to Palmer, who slotted a low, unstoppable shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Sent down the right flank by Enzo Fernandez, Palmer cut inside. Joao Pedro’s clever run drew Marquinhos and Beraldo away, opening up space. With ice-cold composure, the Englishman drilled a clinical shot inside Donnarumma’s left post, leaving the keeper helpless for the second time tonight.

Chelsea lead 2-0, and Paris, completely rattled, look out of answers. At the earlier cooling break, Luis Enrique tried to rally his squad, but the gulf is glaring. Palmer is simply unstoppable, and the Blues are setting a relentless tempo as the match hits the half-hour mark.
