If Cole Palmer isn't already a household name, the onus is on the household to keep up with the times. We're looking at a man who may play a key role in England's next decade and beyond. Palmer does what he wants at Manchester United, not many 21-year-olds brush aside Manchester United. On Thursday night, Chelsea's hat-trick against the Red Devils brought him right back to the front pages. Who is this seemingly shy, matter-of-fact chap, and what are his origins? Players like this don't just appear out of the ether.

Matches have been so bonkers that it would be impossible to recall where you were when the craziness began to unfold for our viewing pleasure. Manchester United's snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Thursday, allowing Chelsea's Cole Palmer to score twice in the dying seconds of stoppage time. Mail Sport gathered our top maddest games from the Premier League's recent return to action.

The 2000s England squad was a sight to behold, featuring some of the world's most iconic names, including David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, and Michael Owen. Return to the beginning with a defense of Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Gary Neville, and David James, and you'll see why FA chief Adam Crozier dubbed them the 'Golden Generation.' However, they only made it to a string of quarter-finals before struggling to qualify for Euro 2008 and then falling out of the 2010 World Cup in the last 16 to Germany.

Phil Foden's spectacular goal in Manchester City's 4-1 victory over Aston Villa, sealing his hat-trick, has been compared to a 2005 Wayne Rooney strike. The Man City star was defeated outside the penalty box but regained his composion and shot the ball back before unleashing a thunderous left-footed attack that took the ball into the top right corner past a motionless Robin Olsen. It has brought comparisons to Rooney's 2005 debut for Manchester United, where he scored one of his best strikes for the Red Devils with an elious volley against Newcastle, just seconds after arguing with the matchday referee, which he described as the best goal he had ever scored.

LEWIS STEELE: The Championship is back for another jam-packed Easter season, with some teams making or breaking a team's promotion campaign, while others relegating for points in order to prevent dreaded relegation. Leicester won 13 games in the first 14 games back in the second tier after their fairytale era ended with relegation. However, the Championship is a marathon, not a sprint, and the Foxes have faltered, not a sprint.

IAN HERBERT: It's often that those who see our football from outside this country have the highest appreciation of the cathedrals, which have been largely ignored now. When Stuart Roy Clarke, a leading documentary photographer, wanted to produce 'The Homes of Football,' capturing our 1990s journey through the game as it came on the brink of modernization, the only publisher willing to commission it was German 'Spielmacher'. The finished product, which was released a few years ago, is stunning, but the text is in German, with an English translation tucked away at the back. Some of the best stadiums, packed with fans when Clarke depicted them, are as iconic as ever to those who remember them, as shown by Mail Sport journalist Ian Ladyman's visit to the old Maine Road center circle in south Manchester last year.

OLIVER HOLT: Enough of the hand-wringing for a while. Many seem to have convinced England that they are saddled with an ineffective captain, an awful defense, half a midfield, and a front-line that can't function without Harry Kane. There's a riposte to all of this, and there are two words in it: Jude Bellingham. Bellingham will not win the European Championships on his own, but England has a great chance of doing it now that he is at the center of the team. He didn't have a good game against Brazil, but Brazil kicked him out of it, partly because Brazil kicked him out of it.

OLIVER HOLT: Any list - your list as well as mine - can be dominated by those who are not on it. However, it should really be about the participants who are on it. This list is meant to be a salute to them and of football's rich, rich past, as well as what the game means to all of us and what players represent and why they capture something in us. You'll disagree with some of the names on the list, and you'll be correct. Another man's garbage is another man's treasure. The depth of our passion for the game and the ferocity of our opinions about the players are only two of the factors that make football so beautiful.

Carlton Cole has told the bizarre tale of being tricked into taking viagra when away on England service. In his career, the former West Ham striker appeared for the Three Lions just seven times, but he was the object of a prank on one of his call-ups to represent his country.

'I think perseverance and tenacity are two of my greatest strengths,' Emma Raducanu boldly said at the start of this year. Although I've had such high success, there have also been so many failures.' Raducanu spoke about the external scrutiny she faced on her work and her life, her aspiration to return to the top of the sport, and the amount of work she has been pushed into in an effort to put her injury problems behind her, in the short film titled 'Fighting Back.' She smiled, and many times expressed delight that her post-surgery woes - she had minor surgery on three limbs last year - were now behind her. Raducanu's Redemption made for a compelling tale to tell in this 9:11 magazine. And here we are, and here she is, just three months later. Injured was the victim. Sidelined. Familiar complaints, which are often inaccurate, are hurled in her direction once more.
