Chelsea star Cole Palmer makes Premier League history after scoring four first – half goals against Brighton
Chelsea after falling behind to a Georginio Rutter header in the seventh minute, England international Palmer scored a hat-trick, only for Carlos Baleba to make it 3-2 after 34 minutes. Seven minutes later, former Manchester City ace Palmer added his fourth to complete a remarkable opening 45 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Palmer has become the first player in Premier League history to score four goals before half-time in a single match. He had just 16 touches and from his five shots and found the net on four occasions. He has proven to be an incredible signing from City.
After this enthralling encounter, Enzo Maresca’s team return to Europa League action on Thursday night when they host Gent. Brighton, on the other hand, entertain Tottenham in the Premier League on October 6.
