One Chelsea star teased Cole Palmer by writing a cheeky message on his match ball, despite Palmer’s impressive achievement of scoring four goals against Brighton. The playful jab highlighted the camaraderie within the team after such a standout outing.
Cole Palmer delivered an astonishing performance, scoring four goals in the first half of Chelsea’s 4-2 victory, highlighted by a stunning 30-yard free kick that captivated fans at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
At just 22, Palmer made history as the first Premier League player to net four goals before halftime, earning a remarkable 9.5 rating from Mail Sport for his “simply extraordinary” display. He now has three Premier League hat-tricks, matching the tally of Chelsea legends Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Palmer’s teammates continued their playful banter, recalling last season’s incident when someone had scrawled “s*** player” on his ball after he scored a hat-trick in a thrilling 4-3 win against Manchester United in April.
