Against Brighton this Saturday in the Premier League, Cole Palmer scored a quadruple in just twenty minutes. A historic performance making him the only player in the English championship to have scored four goals in a first period.
A historic performance. This Saturday, Cole Palmer wrote his name in Premier League history. During the sixth day of the championship, the English striker gave Brighton defenders a real nightmare. At just 22 years old, he scored a quadruple in twenty minutes. A feat making him the first player in Premier League history to score four goals before half-time.
On the substitutes’ bench and little used during Euro 2024 with the Three Lions, Cole Palmer proved to Gareth Southgate that he was wrong not to give him more playing time. Quickly led by Brighton, the Blues then unfolded thanks to their young attacker.
A sumptuous free kick
The latter launched the festivities by concluding Nicolas Jackson’s offering (1-1, 21st). If he doubled the lead from the penalty spot (2-1, 28th), the English international achieved the hat-trick by scoring a masterful free kick (3-1, 31st). Very strong at Stamford Bridge, the striker concluded a historic first period by deceiving the opposing goalkeeper for the fourth time (4-2, 41st).
In just twenty minutes, Cole Palmer reversed the situation, ensuring his team a considerable lead. The two teams also gave everything in this first act, scoring the six goals of the match. An offensive festival.
The second period will not have delivered the same spectacle. The Blues maintained their lead to get a fourth victory this season (4-2). With his quadruplet, Cole Palmer takes second place in the scorers’ standings. The 22-year-old striker now has six goals in as many games and is only four points behind cyborg Erling Haaland (10).
