Cole Palmer will feel that he has justified his decision to leave Manchester City for Chelsea given his impact at Stamford Bridge but as he returns to the Etihad Stadium there is satisfaction that Oscar Bobb has seized the opportunity to take his place.
The 20-year-old Norwegian winger has already played more Premier League minutes than Palmer managed to accrue last season and has made a bigger impact too. His match-winning goal against Newcastle could prove to be a key moment in the title race.
Kevin De Bruyne took the headlines for his perfect pass that day but he was careful to credit his young colleague. "If he does not run then I cannot pass the ball so he dictates what I can do." The goal made the assist just as much as the assist made the goal.

Children as young as six are being given an insight into the mental aspects of being a footballer. "When the challenging days arrive, they have a lot of mental skills to solve many of the problems. We strongly believe that this positively shapes their development.
"Our goal is to develop mentally strong players with a mindset of courage. We want players to take risks, dribble, try difficult passes. And when a player does a mistake, we work on their reaction, focusing on the upcoming task rather that dwelling on the past."
And they try to remember to make it fun. "We want a positive atmosphere in training. Negative comments or negative body language are not allowed. Everyone should leave training with a smile, with the feeling that they have been seen and coached."
