Chelsea delivered a thrilling 4-0 win over Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, lifting spirits after a shaky spell.
Yet, the post-match buzz centered on Cole Palmer, whose goal-and-assist drought stretched to seven games.
However, the 22-year-old England star reassured fans via social media, posting, “Don’t worry, I will be back.”
Christopher Nkunku opened scoring for the Blues, before Pedro Neto doubled the lead with a sharp finish in the 36th minute.
Levi Colwill’s header then made it 3-0 before the break.
Marc Cucurella rounded off the rout late on, securing a result that propelled Chelsea back into the top four and eased pressure on manager Enzo Maresca.
Palmer, despite showing promise in the game, endured a frustrating night, missing two clear chances.
Ramsdale thwarted him one-on-one, and another effort veered wide.
His dry spell contrasts sharply with his earlier brilliance of 14 goals and six assists this season.
