He also became the fifth oldest player in the League to win poker
Midfielder Chelsea Cole Palmerthe hero of yesterday’s crushing victory over Everton (6:0), became the first player Chelsea since March 2010, scoring four goals in one English Premier League match. The last time such an achievement was achieved Frank Lampard.
In addition, at the age of 21 years and 345 days, the Englishman became the fifth youngest player in the League to score at least four goals in one match.
Let us remind you that Chelsea destroyed Everton at home in the match of the 33rd round of the Premier League. Palmer scored a classic hat-trick in the first half, and scored from the penalty spot after the break. Ukrainians Mikhail Mudrik (replaced in the 80th minute) and Vitaliy Mykolenko also played in this match.
Palmer is in his first season with Chelsea, having signed for €47 million from Manchester City in the summer. He already has 23 goals and 13 assists in 39 matches for the London club. With 20 goals, Cole moved level with Erling Haaland at the top of the Premier League scoring list.
Chelsea are in ninth place, but due to the lost points they can qualify for the European Cup zone. In the next round, the Blues will play in an away derby against Arsenal. Before that, on April 20, Mauricio Pochettino’s team will meet Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals.
