Cole Palmer celebrates Chelsea goal in victory over FC Copenhagen with a BEER - as Blues star leaves fans in hysterics

Cole Palmer celebrated Chelsea's UEFA Conference League victory over FC Copenhagen by pretending to drink a beer.

Enzo Maresca's side took on the Danish giants in the first leg of their last-16 tie in the European competition, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Reece James and Enzo Fernandez.

Chelsea are overwhelming favourites for the Conference League and should progress to the quarter-final stage, although Gabriel Pereira's late consolation did at least keep the tie alive ahead of next week's second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer made his first start in the competition on Thursday, with the attacking midfielder having been left out of the Blues' squad for the League Stage after featuring in both legs of their qualifying tie against Servette in August.
