Cole Palmer breaks three Chelsea records with incredible first-half hat-trick as Everton capitulate at Stamford Bridge
COLE PALMER broke THREE Chelsea records with an incredible first-half hat-trick against Everton.
The former Manchester City kid needed less than 30 minutes to net a perfect treble against the woeful Toffees at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer got his first after just 13 minutes as he wrestled the ball from Jarrad Branthwaite before curling home past Jordan Pickford with his left foot.
The England ace then found the net with his head five minutes later as he pounced on Myhkailo Mudryk’s deflected shot.
And with 29 minutes on the clock, Palmer produced his best of the three.
The playmaker intercepted a loose ball from Pickford well outside the box.
As the goalie scrambled to run back to his net, Palmer quickly launched a powerful chip with his right foot that sent the ball over Pickford’s head before nestling into the goal.
