Cole Palmer leads Chelsea to impressive victory

In an unforgettable showcase at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's latest sensation, Cole Palmer, made headlines once again with a stellar performance that saw him net four goals against Everton, leading Chelsea to a resounding 6-0 victory. This remarkable feat not only entertained fans but also elevated Palmer to the top of the Premier League scoring charts, level with Manchester City's Erling Haaland.

Perfect hat-trick +

The match quickly turned into the Cole Palmer show as the young Englishman delivered a perfect hat-trick within the first 30 minutes, scoring with his left foot, right foot, and head, which gave Chelsea an early 3-0 lead. Palmer's opening goal was a masterpiece of individual skill and teamwork. He executed a dazzling move, played a one-two with teammate Nicolas Jackson, and finished masterfully in the far corner.

Nicolas Jackson added to the scoreline before the break, making it 4-0, with Palmer continuing his dominance into the second half by successfully converting a penalty amidst a brief squabble over who would take the shot. The 6-0 rout was capped off by defender Alfie Gilchrist, who scored his first goal for Chelsea, cementing a day of celebration and dominance for the Blues.

Starboy Palmer

Since his transfer from Manchester City earlier in the season, Palmer has been unstoppable. In his last six Premier League games, he has scored ten goals and assisted three times, showcasing his critical role in Chelsea's attack. His total of twenty league goals ties him with Haaland as the Premier League's top scorer, with Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa trailing close behind.

Season running to the end

Despite Palmer's outstanding contributions, Chelsea has been experiencing a somewhat disappointing season overall. They are currently ninth in the league standings, though they have played fewer games than some of their competitors. On the other hand, Everton's situation appears more precarious as they hover just two points above the relegation zone, exacerbated by a total of eight points deducted as penalties this season, with the most recent penalty currently under appeal.

Cole Palmer's ascent as one of the premier forwards in English football is a significant silver lining in Chelsea's mixed season, and his performances suggest that he might be one of the key figures in transforming the club's fortunes. Meanwhile, Everton will need to regroup and strategize carefully to avoid the drop, making their next steps crucial in the Premier League survival battle.
