Rio Ferdinand picked out a 'rude' and 'out of order' Cole Palmer moment during Chelsea's Premier League clash against Bournemouth.

The Blues' stuttering form continued on Tuesday night when they hosted Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca's men took the lead through Palmer in the 13th minute but goals from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo meant the Cherries held a 2-1 lead in the closing stages.

However, captain Reece James scored in stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw for the hosts.

Speaking after the match, Ferdinand was left gobsmacked by Palmer's goal, the Chelsea man delivered a brilliant fake shot to send the goalkeeper down before slotting home to make it 1-0.

Reacting on TNT Sports, the former Manchester United and England defender said: "It’s rude. It was rude. It’s out of order, it’s in the school playground you do that. It’s rude, outrageous really.

"I’ll pay to watch him every day of the week because I know I’m going to get something like that that will get me off my seat and make me scream."

Meanwhile, ex-Liverpool striker Peter Crouch compared Palmer's calmness to former Arsenal and Real Madrid man Mesut Ozil.

He added: "It reminds me of Mesut Ozil a little bit, the calmness, it’s almost too casual, just sits the goalkeeper down.

"The amount of people that get in that position, packed stadium and lash it over the bar or wide, the ability for a young man to stop it, put the keeper down and roll it into an empty net, that’s what makes him special."


Speaking after the match, Chelsea boss Maresca praised his team's first-half performance.

He said: "It was probably one of our best first halves of the season. The way we were playing on the ball and off the ball, the way we created so many chances, we had around 15 shots, and the first half has to finish with a different score because at least 2-0 was what we deserved.

"Then in the second half, after the penalty, we dropped a little bit and we probably need to understand the reason why. The feeling is like a little bit of a shame because when you play the way you played in the first half, where we played really, really good, you need to be clinical."

Chelsea will return to action on Monday against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
