Quick Summary

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was in attendance at Fulham's stadium on Saturday afternoon to watch Crystal Palace produce a "superb comeback". Young players dominated the match, including 19-year-old Fulham midfielder Josh King and Palace academy product Tyrick Mitchell, who scored his first Premier League brace. Tuchel had previously taken note of Mitchell, inviting him to train with England in Florida ahead of the World Cup as one of four young players he selected. The article focuses on highlighting the performances of these underappreciated young players.

Story summary

Thomas Tuchel, the German manager, was watching from the sidelines as Crystal Palace staged a remarkable comeback against Fulham. The match got off to a good start for Fulham, thanks in part to 19-year-old midfielder Josh King, who scored and set up another goal. However, it was Tyrick Mitchell, an under-the-radar player from the Palace academy, who stole the show with two goals and earned praise from fans who chanted "he's one of our own." This surprising performance might have caught Tuchel's attention, as he had previously invited King to train with England ahead of the World Cup.
