Cole Palmer reveals cheeky conversation with Morgan Rogers

Cole Palmer shared a photo of a conversation he had with Morgan Rogers prior to Chelsea's clash with Aston Villa on Sunday.

After netting the third goal in Chelsea's comfortable victory, Palmer took to social media to show off his player of the match award.

Alongside the honour, he displayed an image of a conversation he had had with Rogers prior to the game on social media.

Palmer revealed that the two England internationals had engaged in some pre-match banter over Snapchat earlier this week.

Rogers initiated the exchange by claiming Palmer would not be adding to his impressive goal tally this season when Unai Emery's side travelled to Stamford Bridge.

Palmer prophetically responded that the player of the match award would be coming home with him, and added a screenshot of the exchange next to his award to his Instagram story following the game.

The pair played together in Manchester City's academy before their respective moves away from the Etihad and Rogers claimed earlier this season his former team-mate had stolen his iconic celebration from him.

In addition to closing the scoring for Enzo Maresca's side, Palmer also set up Enzo Fernandez who doubled the Blues' lead following Nicolas Jackson's opener.

The result saw Chelsea move into second in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal.

The club are currently five games unbeaten in the league, with their last defeat coming back in October when they were bested 2-1 by Liverpool.

Having enjoyed breakout success during his prolific first season in west London, 22-year-old Palmer has shown no signs of slowing down.

He currently sits joint-fourth in the top flight scoring charts, with team-mate Jackson joining him on eight goals for the campaign thus far.
