I always maintained that Manchester City must be mad to sell Cole Palmer. Such a prodigious young talent; left-footed; someone who looks like he could be as good as Phil Foden. And somemore to Chelsea somemore; one of your closest & direct rivals. Well Palmer displayed all of that talent at Luton last night; scoring a lovely finish after a mistake from their loanee Issa Kabore; then providing assist for Noni Madueke; and then scoring a sumptuous third after side-stepping almost the entire Luton defence.
To their credit; Luton never gave up and made it a tense finish by pulling back two goals in the final 10 minutes. Ross Barkley; once of Chelsea & Everton; put on a terrific display in the centre of the park; controlling and swivelling all afternoon and heading in their first; and Alfie Doughty and substitute Tahith Chong were brilliant down the left-wing; putting in numerous dangerous crosses that threatened to unhinge the Blues defence. On this day though; it just wasn't enough.
