Cole Palmer was the star of the show as Chelsea beat Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 3-0 to win the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey.
The 22-year-old forward was unstoppable in the first half. He scored two great goals and gave one sweet assist that helped Chelsea take full control before the break.
Palmer’s amazing performance helped the Blues win their second trophy of the season in very hot weather. What was supposed to be a tough final turned into an easy win for Chelsea.
He scored the first goal in the 22nd minute with a calm shot past PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Just eight minutes later, he made it 2-0. He controlled a long pass from Trevoh Chalobah, fooled a defender, and scored again.
Right before halftime, Palmer assisted Chelsea’s third goal. He chipped a lovely ball over PSG’s defense, and Joao Pedro finished it off perfectly.
Chelsea were simply too strong on the night, and their win looked just like PSG’s big 4-0 victory against Real Madrid in the semi-final. But this time, it was PSG who were outplayed.
