Here, we take a look at the seven impressive records the  England international has made for himself.

1.Back-to-back home hattricks in a single season

Cole Palmer becomes  the first Chelsea player in history  to score two  Premier League hat-tricks in consecutive home games within a single season. While Didier Drogba achieved consecutive home hat-tricks, they  both occurred across two seasons: one at the end of the 2009/10 season and the other at the beginning of the 2010/2011 season.

2.First Player to be On target in seven consecutive home games

Cole Palmer has made history and  etched his name in Chelsea’s history books as the first player ever to score in seven consecutive Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge. Before achieving this feat, he shared the record of six consecutive home matches with legends Didier Drogba and Eidur Gudjohnsen, now leaving them in his dust.

Moreover, His impact at home games extends far beyond just scoring goals. In his last seven home league matches for Chelsea, he has  directly contributed to an impressive total of 15 goals, scoring 13 times and providing two assists.

3.Fastest Chelsea hattrick

Cole Palmer  etched his nsme in the history book as the fastest Chelsea player to complete a hat trick,  After scoring the opening goal in the 13th minute, he doubled Chelsea’s lead just five minutes later to make it 2-0. His remarkable feat was sealed with a long-range effort in the 29th minute, marking the fastest hat-trick ever recorded for Chelsea in the Premier League.

4.Premier League’s quickest perfect hattrick

Palmer’s first goal was scored with his left foot, while his second came via a header. The Everton custodian unintentionally gave the ball to him, and he used his weaker right foot to loop it over Jordan Pickford to complete his hat-trick. The shot was remarkably accurate, landing at the back of the net just under the crossbar. Notably, he scored goals with his left foot, head, and right foot to complete a flawless hat-trick. It was Chelsea’s first Premier League perfect hat-trick since Christian Pulisic did it against Burnley in October 2019. It is noteworthy that this is the Premier League’s fastest perfect hat-trick in history.

 

5.First Chelsea 20-goal mark in seven years

Since Diego Costa accomplished the mark in the 2016–17 season, Cole Palmer has become the first Chelsea player to score 20 goals in the Premier League. The previous two Chelsea players to score more than 20 goals in a single league season before Palmer’s feat were Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba in the 2009–10 campaign, with Lampard scoring 22 and Drogba scoring 29.

6.First Chelsea haul in 14 years.

Cole Palmer’s feat of scoring four goals in one Premier League match is a noteworthy accomplishment for Chelsea. Since Frank Lampard accomplished it in March 2010, he is the first Chelsea player to do it. Palmer becomes the first player in Premier League history to join an elite group of Chelsea players that have scored four goals in a single game, including Lampard (twice), Gianluca Vialli, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

7.Accurate  penalty conversion rate

Cole Palmer now holds the record for the second-highest percentage of penalty takers in a Premier League season, having converted nine out of nine attempts. Yaya Toure, who now holds the record with 11 successful penalties from 11 attempts, is ahead of him.

Palmer’s awesome display not only secured victory for Chelsea but also etched his name into the club’s and Premier League’s record books, cementing his status as one of the biggest  league’s rising stars.
