Cole Palmer Impresses in Chelsea's Carabao Cup Victory
Highlights Draw Comparisons to Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne
Chelsea secured their passage into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night with a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers. The Blues were far from their best in the first half, but they improved after the break and eventually got the win thanks to goals from Benoit Badiashile and Raheem Sterling.
One of the standout performers for Chelsea was Cole Palmer. The young midfielder was impressive in the center of the park, and he showed some of the qualities that have led to comparisons with Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne. Palmer was excellent in possession, and he created a number of chances for his teammates.
Palmer's performance was even more impressive considering that he was playing out of position. The 19-year-old is a natural winger, but he was deployed in central midfield against Blackburn Rovers. However, Palmer showed that he is capable of playing in a variety of positions, and he could be a valuable asset to Chelsea in the future.
Chelsea will now face Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. It will be a tough test for the Blues, but they will be confident of causing an upset after their performance against Blackburn Rovers.
