One Manchester City player did not shake Cole Palmer’s hand in the tunnel before the Chelsea match.Cole Palmer enjoyed another clash against former side Manchester City on Saturday, but had to leave without a handshake from a member of the defending winners.

Cole Palmer was not shaken by a single Manchester City player in the tunnel before their thrilling game against Chelsea.

On Saturday, February 17, the two Premier League teams faced off at the Etihad Stadium. The Blues held Pep Guardiola’s men to a 1-1 draw in a thrilling battle.

Raheem Sterling, a former Citizen, opened the scoring shortly before halfway, his second goal against the defending champions this season.

With one game left, City trails league leaders Liverpool by four points. Despite having the opportunity to win the game, they were unable to breach the Blues’ goal a second time and were forced to settle for a point.

The ninety-five minutes of football in Manchester were action-packed, but there was one potentially tense moment in the tunnel before kickoff: Ederson Moraes was the only Manchester City starter who did not shake hands with Cole Palmer. Palmer was making his first trip to the Etihad since moving to Chelsea for £42 million earlier this season.

Palmer was hailed by every City starting as they waited for the referee to tell them to onto the field. He had short embraces with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, but the Brazil international lacked the same warmth. However, there is a good reason why there was no handshake.

Fans of 17-year-old Luke Littler may now purchase his playing shirt to express their support as he continues to excel in the Premier League.
