Cole Palmer delivered a stunning first-half performance as Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to claim the Club World Cup title at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Palmer scored twice and assisted Joao Pedro in a dominant display that left the French champions stunned. The opener came in the 22nd minute after Nuno Mendes lost possession, allowing Malo Gusto to set up Palmer for a calm finish. Palmer added a second after the cooling break, cutting inside and firing home after a clever dummy. He then turned creator, assisting Joao Pedro, who chipped PSG keeper Donnarumma to make it 3-0. PSG’s nightmare ended with João Neves being sent off in the 83rd minute for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair. Chelsea’s victory capped a commanding performance in the revamped final, with Palmer at the heart of it all.
