In 2019, during a match against Burnley, Chelsea’s star player scored a flawless hat-trick, a feat that had not been accomplished since then.
The victory against the Clarets, with a score of 4-2, showcased the American player’s remarkable skills.
For five years, no other Chelsea player was able to replicate this achievement. However, on Monday, Cole Palmer finally managed to equal this impressive record.
During the initial period of their Premier League match against Everton on Monday, Palmer scored three goals to help Chelsea secure a 3-0 advantage at half-time.
The opening goal was scored with his left foot, followed by a header, and the final goal was netted with his right foot, completing a flawless hat-trick.
In the second half, the 21-year-old capitalized on the three-goal period by scoring his 20th goal of the Premier League season from the penalty spot. This achievement puts him on par with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland in the race for the 2023/24 Golden Boot.
