The match began with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez scoring in the third minute, and Jarell Quansah inadvertently doubling the lead with an own goal. However, Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk narrowed the gap with a header in the 85th minute. Chelsea regained the lead when Quansah fouled Moises Caicedo, earning a penalty that Palmer calmly converted.

In a post-match interview, Palmer discussed his struggles in front of the goal. He expressed relief at finally scoring and credited it to his determination to work harder for himself and the team.

Palmer acknowledged the negative comments he receives on social media but chose to ignore them. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and motivated, and he plans to continue improving his performance.
