Enzo Maresca has hailed Cole Palmer following Chelsea's remarkable victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the London Derby.

The Blues came from two goals down to complete a remarkable turnaround, beating Spurs 4-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, December 8.

Ange Postecoglou's side capitalized on Marc Cucurella's mistakes to take a two-goal early lead before Jaden Sancho pulled a goal back before halftime.

Cole Palmer leveled the scoreline from the spot in the 61st minute before Enzo Fernandez completed the comeback 11 minutes later.

Palmer extended Chelsea's lead from the spot again with a superb panenka before Spurs skipper Son Heung-Min scored in stoppage time to make it 4-3.

Chelsea boss Maresca, who coached Cole Palmer in the Manchester City youth team, praised the England international for always maintaining his level of performance.

“I know Cole from four or five years ago,” Maresca said.

“The best thing about him is that four or five years ago when he was with me, he was one way, and now after two years, 20-30 goals, and everyone considers him one of the [best], he is exactly the same guy.

“Loves football, humble, no strange things. This is the best thing for Cole and for young players because today, young players if they play one good game, they think they are [top] and they lose the balance.

“He is always the same, doesn’t change, and we are very happy with Cole.”

The Blues are now four points behind leaders Liverpool, whose game against Everton was postponed due to bad weather on Saturday.
