Palmer apologises to Pochettino

The Mirror reports that the match was marked with a minor incident involving Palmer and Pochettino.

The publication reports that the youngster hit the Chelsea boss with a water bottle shortly after the ex-Man City ace had been replaced by Reece James.

However, Palmer is seemingly regretting his actions and has since apologised to his manager.

"When they scored their second goal I was getting a drink," Palmer explained to Chelsea's club website.

"I went to throw the bottle away, as you do, but didn't look. I just saw it loop dead slow and hit the gaffer. I said sorry to him and apologised properly after the game. Hopefully, he won't drop me for that," he added.

The two former Manchester City stars were dragging the ball before Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez waded in and passed the ball to the 21-year-old, who scored, and the whole team brushed it aside and celebrated the goal.
