From the source

Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia both starred in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday. Palmer scored Chelsea’s second goal of the game to ensure all three points for Xabi Alonso’s side, while Lavia was involved in the opener, although Morgan Rogers did most of the work.

After losing to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and being eliminated from the Carabao Cup midweek, the pressure was on Palmer, Lavia and the rest of the Chelsea team.

However, after a lacklustre first half, they managed to respond. Lavia, in particular, had a solid game, which did not go unnoticed. Palmer was clearly impressed with his teammate’s performance.
