His curling effort marked his first goal since joining the Portuguese club on loan from Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The winger initially celebrated with his new teammates before folding his arms and mimicking the pose made famous by Palmer. Rogers has also used the celebration and previously joked that his former Manchester City academy teammate had stolen it from him.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc65\udb40\udc6e\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc7f\ud83d\ude31 \ud835\udc09\ud835\udc04\ud835\udc12\ud835\udc12\ud835\udc04 \ud835\udc03\ud835\udc04\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc18 (\ud835\udfcf\ud835\udfd7) WITH AN INSANE GOLAZOOOOO!!!<\/p>\n<p>FIRST GOAL FOR SPORTING CP!!<\/p>\n<p>WHAT A TALENT \ud83d\udc8e  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tovjnTSDOx\">pic.twitter.com\/tovjnTSDOx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rising Stars XI (@RisingStarXI) July 25, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jesse Derry scores for Sporting as Chelsea pair respond<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to\u00a0Tribuna, Palmer responded to Derry\u2019s Instagram post by writing: \u201cThat\u2019s it.\u201d Rogers also approved of the celebration by leaving a cold-face emoji underneath the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Derry joined Sporting on a season-long loan earlier in July after signing a new Chelsea contract until 2032. There is no option for the Portuguese side to make the move permanent, so he will return to Stamford Bridge next summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ReadChelsea previously examined how Derry\u2019s Sporting loan fits into Xabi Alonso\u2019s wider plan\u00a0for the club\u2019s young wide players. The teenager now has an opportunity to gain regular senior experience at one of Portugal\u2019s biggest clubs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His first Sporting goal represents an encouraging early step. Derry still faces competition for consistent minutes, but producing a decisive moment against Champions League-level opposition will strengthen his push for a prominent role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea will continue to follow his development throughout the campaign. Palmer and Rogers appear equally pleased to see another Blues attacker adopt their \u2018ice cold\u2019 celebration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesse Derry scores for Sporting and has already attracted the attention of Chelsea teammates Cole&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/21497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
