Cole Palmer's humility fuels his Chelsea success - Enzo Maresca

Enzo Maresca has said Cole Palmer's elevation to become one of the Premier League's biggest stars has not changed him after the 22-year-old played another key role as Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-3 on Sunday.

Chelsea were 2-0 down after 11 minutes at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski capitalised on mistakes by Marc Cucurella but mounted a stirring comeback.

Jadon Sancho halved the deficit before Palmer converted the first of two penalties either side of Enzo Fernández's 73rd-minute volley.
