Watch: Chelsea's Cole Palmer gets shoved aside by Erling Haaland as he attempts to listen in on Manchester City team huddle
Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer was shoved aside by former Manchester City teammate Erling Haaland as he attempted to listen in on the Cityzens team huddle.
The moment came after the 21-year-old midfielder scored his team's fourth goal on the night and equaliser (90+5') in the 4-4 draw against Manchester City on Sunday (November 12).
Palmer, who came through the ranks with the Cityzens, moved to west London in the summer due to lack of game time for a reported fee of £40 million, and £2.5 million in add-ons. After managing to restore parity from the spot, Pep Guardiola's men got together to regroup before the restart.
Haaland who spotted Palmer cheekily lurking around the outside of the huddle, playfully pushed the England under-21 international away. The pair shared the pitch 12 times for the Manchester side without managing a joint goal contribution.
In what was a thrilling encounter, the European champions took the lead through Haaland in the 25th minute. Mauricio Pochettino's men hit back with two goals(29' and 37'), following which Manuel Akanji ensured both sides were level at half-time (45+1').
In the second half, the Premier League leaders nudged ahead once again through their Norwegian phenomenon(47') only to see the goal cancelled out by Nicolas Jackson (67'). Moreover, what seemed like a certain winner from Rodri in the 86th minute turned out not to be enough on the night. Palmer scored the game's final goal from the spot after Armando Broja was brought down inside the box by Ruben Dias in stoppage time.
Following this incredible match, Manchester City lead Liverpool and Arsenal by one point and occupy the top spot with 28 points from 12 games. Meanwhile, Chelsea are 10th with 16 points from 12 matches.
