Chelsea's Cole Palmer etched his name into the record books in a historic Premier League match on Saturday by becoming the first player in the league's 32-year history to score four goals in the first half. The England international's remarkable feat came during Chelsea's 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer's scoring spree began with an equalizer in the 21st minute, followed by a penalty conversion in the 28th minute, and a stunning free kick to complete his hat-trick in the 31st minute. He capped off his performance with a fourth goal in the 41st minute, assisted by Jadon Sancho.
Noni Madueke, Palmer's teammate, humorously reacted to this extraordinary achievement on social media, sharing a celebratory picture with Palmer and captioning it, "How greedy!" Madueke's playful comment highlighted the camaraderie within the team despite the competitive nature of professional football.

Palmer's performance was pivotal in Chelsea's win, overturning an early lead by Brighton's Georginio Rutter. Carlos Baleba managed to pull one back for Brighton, but Palmer's relentless scoring ensured Chelsea maintained their advantage. This match not only marked a massive personal milestone for Palmer but also showcased Chelsea's attacking prowess under new manager Enzo Maresca.
