Cole Palmer has accomplished history by becoming the first player in the Premier League to score four goals in the first half of a match as Chelsea hosted Brighton. The Blues defeated Brighton 4-2 thanks to Palmer's heroics and are announcing themselves in the title race.

Cole Palmer, once a bench warmer at multiple-time winners Manchester City, joined Chelsea at the beginning of the 2023/24 Premier League season and is now one of the highest-rated youngsters in football.

Only five players in Premier League history have managed to net five times in the same match, with no player ever scoring six. He also now has 43 Premier League goal or assist contributions since the start of last season, four more than Man City forward Erling Haaland.
