In the height of summer, Chelsea brought in rising star Galpenma from Manchester City at a cost of £45 million (about HK$430 million), and in just three months, he has become one of the best reinforcements of the season. At just 21 years old, Galpenma staged a stunning turnaround in this game, not only dominating Chelsea's offense, but also being the key player of the game with a brilliant 12-yard breakaway goal. He was not only a "shocker" on the pitch, he even received a yellow card for stepping on the turf of the 12-yard box, and was pushed away for "eavesdropping" on City players discussing tactics, stealing the show!
Before the game, Gordiona revealed the reason for Galpenma's transfer, saying that Galpenma "didn't want to wait any longer" and insisted on becoming a starter right away, and the manager was even more confident: "Only small clubs are worried about selling good players to their opponents." Golpenma made a big impact in the match, making 7 successful passes, the highest in the match. In the final moments of extra time, he withstood the pressure and finished with a perfect 12-yarder for his fourth personal breakaway of the season (100% hit). After the game, Galpenma said he did not intentionally practice hard for the 12-yarder: "I just had enough confidence in myself."
