Cole Palmer Achieves Premier League Record with Four Goals in First Half for Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer made history by becoming the first player in the Premier League’s 32-year existence to score four goals in the first half of a match. The English international achieved this remarkable feat during Chelsea’s game against Brighton at Stamford Bridge, where he netted goals in the 21st, 28th, 31st, and 41st minutes of the match to give Chelsea a 4-2 lead going into halftime.
According to Opta, the renowned statistics provider for the Premier League, no player has ever scored as many goals in a single match before halftime. This exceptional performance by Palmer showcased his incredible talent and goal-scoring ability.
This is not the first time Palmer has impressed with his goal-scoring prowess for Chelsea. Last season, he also scored four goals in a single match during a 6-0 victory over Everton in April, demonstrating his consistency and impact on the team.
By achieving this milestone, Palmer joins the ranks of Chelsea legends Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who have all scored at least three goals in a game three times for the club in the Premier League.
Despite having only played 39 league games for Chelsea since joining from Manchester City in 2023, Palmer has already made a significant impact with his goal-scoring abilities and skill on the field. His performance against Brighton further cements his status as a rising star in English football and a key player for Chelsea.
