Goals, goals and more goals! Chelsea marksman Cole Palmer has been so good in front of goal that the Englishman is now tied on goals with Erling Haaland himself! A gargantuan four goals against Everton shook the fans in light of the young forward’s goal scoring prowess.
With 20 goals and 9 assists this season in the League, he has undoubtedly been one of the best players this season. The game against 16th placed Everton saw Palmer at his very best. The 21-year-old got off the mark with a curler to the bottom left of the Everton goal. He then quickly followed it up with a header from a rebound into an empty net.
Everton keeper Jordan Pickford had a moment to forget in the build-up to Palmer’s third of the night. The former accidentally passed the ball to Palmer who in a split second, made Pickford regret his mistake.
A smart chip over Pickford saw the ball dip right before the crossbar and go into the empty net. His fourth and final goal of the night came from the spot, even though a lot of controversy came out of the same.
