Palmer's surprise departure was spotted by fans as they were leaving the stadium. He was seen running outside in a black hoodie and shorts, heading towards a local petrol station.

A video posted by a TikTok account from the delivery person revealed that Palmer was actually meeting someone to collect a pair of Prada shoes. The delivery person shared their experience of delivering the shoes, which had a long journey from the Middle East.

The delivery person explained that they received a message late at night and had to sort everything out quickly. They caught a bit of the game on TV and were impressed by Palmer's willingness to sign autographs and take photos.

However, the commotion has left many Chelsea fans unimpressed, feeling that Palmer prioritized his shoes over a post-match debrief with his teammates.
