Cole Palmer is thrilled to be heading to Wembley with Chelsea after their poor start to the season.<\/p>\n
The summer signing struck twice in a 6-1 rout of Middlesbrough to set up a showdown with Fulham or Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on February 25.<\/p>\n
And he was in a buoyant mood after bouncing back from a wasteful display in the first leg to sink the Championship outfit 6-2 on aggregate.<\/p>\n
Palmer, 21, told Sky Sports: \u201cAfter the first game, we knew it\u2019d be difficult to get the win and go to Wembley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI missed three sitters in the first game so it was always in the back of my mind coming into this one. To score two and go through to Wembley, I\u2019m happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve not had the best of starts, there is no hiding it, but to go to Wembley is a great opportunity to get a trophy and we\u2019re looking forward to it. It\u2019s going to be a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Jonny Howson own goal gave the Blues the lead at Stamford Bridge and they did not look back with Enzo Fernandez, Axel Disasi and Noni Madueke joining Palmer on the scoresheet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Manager Mauricio Pochettino will have a shot at winning his first silverware in English football next month and he singled out Palmer for praise.<\/p>\n
The ex-Tottenham boss, 51, said: \u201cHe is a player with an amazing talent. A player that understands the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has the quality and talent to see the situation and to read the game in another aspect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
