Chelsea delivered a resounding 5-0 win over West Ham this weekend, and Cole Palmer played a crucial role, putting himself on par with Chelsea legends Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard.
Palmer wasted no time making his mark at Stamford Bridge, scoring the opening goal just 15 minutes into the game.
With the help of Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke, Palmer’s contributions to Chelsea’s impressive victory were clear to see.
As the match unfolded, Nicolas Jackson’s double ensured a solid win for Chelsea, propelling them toward their European aspirations.
Palmer’s goal brought his Premier League tally to 21, a remarkable achievement that highlights his growing talent.
But Palmer’s influence goes beyond just the numbers.
At 21, he’s now in the same league as Drogba and Lampard, who both hold the record for most Premier League home goals in a season for Chelsea, with 16 goals each in separate seasons.
Palmer’s goal against West Ham puts him alongside these Chelsea greats, but the upcoming game against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge could be his chance to make the record his own.
With his performance against West Ham, Palmer has already written himself into Chelsea’s history. Now, he has a shot at becoming the sole record holder.
