Chelsea midfielder Palmer said, "Everyone doubts us, but we don't care. We just turn this doubt into extra motivation and work hard to meet all challenges on the field."

"I thought we played really well, especially the coach. He made a really good plan, he knew exactly where the spaces were and he gave me as much freedom as possible to move in those areas, so I had to repay him with goals."

Palmer also said, "We are a young team. Everyone has talked a lot about us throughout the season, but I feel that we are moving in the right direction. I will try my best to do my job every time I step on the court, and I hope I can keep it up in the future."

In addition, Chelsea will face Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge in the first round of the Premier League next season.

Chelsea manager Maresca said, "This is exactly the game we wanted to see Palmer step up, and he once again proved his ability in big games and at crucial moments."

“I have nothing but great things to say about the players, every one of them deserved this moment. We set the tone in the first 10 minutes and were excellent in pressing high up the pitch. Although the weather conditions made it difficult to keep pressing, the players played really well.”
