Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is full of praise for teammate Cole Palmer.

The midfielder hit a hat-trick in victory over Manchester United on Thursday.

Chukwuemeka said: Credit to Cole - a top player, world-class player - and credit to the lads for sticking in there, and Noni [Madueke] for making a monumental impact off the bench to win a penalty. But they were unreal scenes.

I've never played in a game before where we're losing after 96 minutes and go on to win it, but they were great scenes at the end.

It's a big lift. Obviously, we wanted to win the Burnley game but only drew, but beating United at home gives us a big lift going into some important games this month, so now we have to keep our focus heading into the next training session, the next game."

He added, The goal, going into the season, was to get back into Europe and win a trophy - and we've got big opportunities to do that. We've got to keep working hard.

(Manager Mauricio Pochettino) has come in to take Chelsea back to where we need to be; every three points is very important to help us get there."
