Cole Palmer is now a legend in the making after tying with former Chelsea heavyweights

Chelsea hosted Brighton at Stamford bridge on Saturday. Cole Palmer scored all four for Chelsea making history as the first player in Premier League history to net four times in the first half of a match.

This weeks comes after Chelsea's 0-3 win away at West Ham on September 21st. Nicolas Jackson went home with a brace while Cole Palmer scored the third.

Despite his remarkable achievement, the 22-year-old was quick to express a hint of disappointment, saying, “I should have had five or six.”

Palmer’s high standards are evident as he recounted missing an early opportunity and hitting the post before scoring his first goal.

“When I missed the first chance, I was upset,” he admitted. “But with the way they played and their high line, I felt we would get more chances.”

His confidence was rewarded, as he went on to dominate the match and secure a memorable win for the Blues.

With his four-goal haul, Palmer has now accumulated an impressive six goals and four assists in just a handful of matches this season.

This stellar performance has not only put him in the spotlight but also placed him in elite company.

He has tied Chelsea legends Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink by achieving three Premier League hat-tricks for the club.

Palmer's achievements this season highlight his rapid development as a key player for Chelsea, and the team’s fans are undoubtedly excited about his potential.
