Cole Palmer stole the show against Everton. He made Chelsea history
After less than 30 minutes of play, Chelsea was leading 3-0. In addition, all the goals were scored by one player – Cole Palmer, who first made an impressive shot from outside the penalty area, then finished Nicolas Jackson’s shot from close range, and then mercilessly took advantage of Jordan Pickford’s error and shot into the empty net from a distance. In doing so, he scored the fastest hat-trick in the club’s history.
As if that wasn’t enough, in the second half the Englishman converted a penalty kick (for 5-0). As a result, he has already scored 20 goals in the Premier League this season and, together with Erling Haaland, is the leader of the scorers.

Palmer’s last goal was accompanied by a lot of confusion. Although the 21-year-old is the penalty taker at Chelsea, Noni Madueke had the ball in his hands and wanted to take a shot from the 11th meter. Only captain Conor Gallagher took it from him. Although after a while Jackson stepped in and had already been struggling with Madueke, probably because he wanted to shoot the penalty himself.
– This is a ridiculous situation. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life – said surprised Viaplay commentators. Such behavior, especially with such a result, shows that the atmosphere in the team is far from ideal, and the players seem frustrated by previous failures.
Ultimately, Chelsea won the match 6-0. Just before the break, Jackson scored a goal to make it 4-0, and in the 90th minute, Alfie Gilchrist scored.
