  • Cole Palmer scored a late equaliser to help Chelsea draw 4-4 against Manchester City
  • The former City academy star was caught trying to steal his former teammates’ tactics
  • Palmer has now opened up on the incident and admitted he did not hear the discussion

Cole Palmer has opened up on the incident involving himself and his former teammates during the 4-4 draw between Manchester City and Chelsea on Sunday.

Palmer faced his former side for the first time and was decisive in securing a draw for his new team with his penalty in the additional minutes, after Ruben Dias fouled Armando Broja.

He was caught peeping into City's huddle before a free kick in a dangerous position before Dias quickly sniffed him out and Erling Haaland laughingly pushed him away.

Per Chelsea's statement, Palmer received his first call-up to the England national team after the game, admitting he initially thought the invitation text was a blag.

Palmer on Haaland's reaction to his peeping

While facing his first press conference as a member of the Three Lions at St. George’s Park, Palmer was asked about the peeping incident, as quoted by BBC Sport.

"No, I didn't hear anything. I was just having a laugh to be honest. I think Erling [Haaland] found it pretty funny, I don't think the others did," he said.

Palmer was also quizzed on a video of him rapping to Vybz Kartel’s Mind Dutty, which his sister shared on TikTok in July 2022.

The 21-year-old admitted he was jumping on a trend and responding about the boot that appears in the video, he wanted the St. Kitts flag on his shoes to show. He is Caribbean and Kittian roots through his father.
