Chelsea 4 – 2 Brighton

by Amar Azam

IN AMONG the chaos of what was a frenetic, error-strewn first half from these two teams, a superb Cole Palmer shone, scoring all four of his side’s goals in a formidable display of attacking prowess and clinical finishing.

In so doing, he became the Premier League’s first player to have scored four goals in the opening half of a match.

The young Chelsea forward continues to demonstrate why he is one of the league’s hottest players, with his performance drawing comparisons with the likes of Dennis Bergkamp and Robin Van Persie.
