Chelsea forward Cole Palmer has revealed he accidentally threw a bottle at Mauricio Pochettino during Saturday’s draw against Arsenal. The \u00a345million summer signing immediately apologised and joked that he hopes he won’t be dropped because of it.<\/p>\n
Palmer was asked to play as a false No 9 for the visit of the Gunners. He gave William Saliba and Gabriel a run for their money, especially in the first half.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old opened the scoring with a penalty after demanding to take the spot-kick instead of Raheem Sterling. He came close to scoring on a couple of other occasions on a promising night for the former Manchester City ace.<\/p>\n
But Palmer may have got on the wrong side of his manager later in the game. His reaction to Arsenal’s equalising goal could have landed him in hot water.<\/p>\n

I went to throw the bottle away, as you do, but didn\u2019t look.<\/p>\n “I just saw it loop dead slow and hit the gaffer. I said sorry to him and apologised properly after the game. Hopefully he won\u2019t drop me for that!<\/p>\n “We get on well. I try to show him every day in training what I can do. Work hard and just try to repay him because he puts a lot of faith in us.”<\/p>\n Palmer will be hoping to keep his spot for Saturday’s visit of west London rivals Brentford. But he is ruing the two points dropped against Arsenal, having led 2-0 with 13 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Chelsea-news-Cole-Palmer-bottle-Mauricio-Pochettino-5029749.jpg?r=1698151628367\")
