Chelsea Ends Year with Narrow Victory Over Luton Town

Cole Palmer's Double Helps Chelsea Hold Off Late Luton Rally in 3-2 Win

Chelsea ended 2023 with a 3-2 away win against Luton Town in the Premier League, with Cole Palmer scoring twice and Noni Madueke adding another.
Despite leading 3-0, Chelsea faced a late scare as former player Ross Barkley scored for Luton and Elijah Adebayo added another, but Chelsea managed to hold on for the win.
The victory ends a run of four consecutive away defeats for Chelsea, marking their first back-to-back league wins since early October.
Chelsea's performance was marked by periods of strong control and clinical finishing, but lapses in concentration towards the end nearly cost them the game.
Despite the win, Chelsea remains in 10th place in the Premier League standings.
