The 23-year-old's opening goal came in the 22nd minute after a mistake by PSG’s Nuno Mendes. The Chelsea midfielder made no mistake in slotting the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The England international second was a moment of brilliance. After receiving a through ball from Levi Colwill, he dazzled a defender before burying his finish into the bottom left corner.
Palmer then turned provider before halftime, finding Joao Pedro with a precise ball. The Brazilian broke the offside trap and lofted a beautiful chip over the PSG keeper to seal the win, per BBC.
PSG, who ended the match with 10 men, had no answer to Chelsea’s pace and precision, as Luis Enrique shoved Joao Pedro after the match per ESPN.
