Palmer's Record-Breaking Assists
The 22-year-old was at it again as he provided the ammunition for African star Nicolas Jackson to net his second goal of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.

Harry Kane (2020-21)
Paul Pogba (2021-22)

Impact Against Crystal Palace
In the match against Palace, Palmer's influence was once again on display. He played a pivotal role in Chelsea's opening goal, receiving the ball from Noni Madueke before setting up Jackson with a precise square pass.
This assist allowed Jackson to slide in and score, marking goals in consecutive matches for the striker. Jackson's goal celebration was particularly poignant as it came on the heels of signing a new nine-year contract with Chelsea, underlining the club's long-term faith in the young forward.
But at the time of this report, the match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace was evenly poised at 1-1. Palace's equaliser came courtesy of a sensational second-half strike from Eberechi Eze, cancelling out Jackson's opener and setting up an exciting finish to the game.
