Promising star Cole Palmer led his Chelsea team to a huge victory over Everton in the 33rd round of the English Premier League.
Blues midfielder Cole Palmer scored four “super hat-trick” goals, including a hat-trick in the first 30 minutes of his team’s match against Everton in the “Premier League” at Stamford Bridge, making the English star rise to the top of the league’s top scorers with 20 goals, competing with Norwegian Erling Haaland.
Palmer scored the first goal after 13 minutes when he dribbled past Jared Branthwaite by passing the ball between his feet and exchanging it with Nicholas Jackson, then fired a direct shot from the edge of the penalty area past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Five minutes later, he scored the second goal, as Pickford blocked Jackson’s shot and turned it towards Palmer, who put it into the empty net with a header.
Pickford also gave Chelsea the third goal in the 29th minute when Palmer intercepted the Everton goalkeeper’s pass and shot brilliantly with his right foot, which is the weak foot, over the England goalkeeper.
This is Palmer’s second consecutive hat-trick at Stamford Bridge after he scored three goals, including two goals in stoppage time, in a 4-3 win over Manchester United on April 4.
Palmer has scored 22 goals so far this season, becoming the first Chelsea player to exceed 20 goals in a season since Eden Hazard in the 2018-2019 season.
Jackson also scored in the 44th minute, giving Chelsea a 4-0 lead at halftime.
With the start of the second half, Palmer scored again in the 64th minute from the penalty spot, before Alfie Gilchrist concluded the Blues’ goal festival.
With this broad victory, Chelsea raised its score to 47 points in ninth place with two games missing, while Everton’s score froze at 27 points in 16th place, after 8 points were deducted from its score due to violating the rules of financial fair play.
