Cole Palmer is on fire. The Chelsea man scored a hat-trick today against Everton, bringing up his goal-strike count to 19. And it only took him 28 minutes, the fastest hat trick in Premier League history.
He’s scored 24 goals in all competitions this season. While we await the second half, let’s look at the three goals.
Cole Palmer Goal — 12th minute
Palmer’s first goal tonight is the best of the bunch. The 21-year-old right winger nutmegs his opponent and backheels the pass to Nicolas Jackson, who returns it back to Palmer for a perfectly aimed left-corner shot. Cold, indeed!
Cole Palmer Goal — 18th minute
Palmer also has that poacher’s instinct. Here he is, heading his quick-fire double in the 18th minute. Yes, a masterclass deserves its own meme—see below.
Cole Palmer Goal — 29th minute
How do you score the perfect hat trick? After finishing with his left foot and head, Palmer aces the hat-trick trifecta with a right-foot lobbed goal. Palmer has two back-to-back hat tricks at Stamford Bridge. Can he score a penalty now to finish today’s agenda?
Take a bow, son.
