This Monday, at the end of the 33rd day of the championship, the Blues easily defeated Everton (6-0). With his quadruple, Palmer becomes joint-top scorer in the Premier League (20).
A quadruple from Cole Palmer, now joint top scorer in the championship, allowed Chelsea to win largely against low-ranked Everton (6-0), this Monday at Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old striker has carried the west London club on his shoulders since his arrival at the start of the season and now has 20 goals in 27 matches played. He comes back alongside his former teammate at Manchester City, Erling Haaland.
Thanks to this success, Chelsea occupies ninth place with 47 points, just behind West Ham (8th, 48 pts) who played two more matches, and within striking distance of Manchester United (7th) and Newcastle (6th), 50 points each and a match played in addition.
During this meeting, a surprising scene took place. Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson, author of the 4-0 before half-time, bickered to take a penalty (64th). Captain Conor Gallagher ended the argument by handing the leather to Palmer, the unofficial shooter.
