In a stunning display, Chelsea's Cole Palmer scored a record-breaking four goals in the first half, leading his team to a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. This extraordinary feat places Palmer among an exclusive group of Premier League players. His performance drew parallels to legends like Dennis Bergkamp and Robin van Persie, as he showcased remarkable skill, including a brilliant free kick. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised Palmer as the 'best player in the Premier League', while Palmer himself humorously noted that he could have scored even more, stating, 'I should've had six.' Despite the triumph, some Chelsea fans called for changes following their team's inconsistent performance - highlighting the duality of praise and critique surrounding Palmer's potential. Meanwhile, Brighton's tactical failures were scrutinized as they struggled to cope with Palmer's explosive talent.
