Chelsea ratings: Cole Palmer the key man in win vs. Luton

Chelsea ended 2023 with an encouraging performance and a 3-2 away win against Luton Town in the Premier League.

Cole Palmer punished a lapse of concentration from Issa Kaboré to open the scoring 12 minutes in, and Noni Madueke doubled Chelsea's lead before half-time.

Palmer then showed incredible composure to round off the scoring in the 70th minute and seemingly wrap up the victory. However, former Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley scored before Elijah Adebayo's goal gave the visitors hope with a late rally that ultimately came up short.
