Chelsea star Cole Palmer emerged as the hero of Monday night’s game, scoring a remarkable four goals and shattering four records in the process as the Blues thrashed Everton 6-0 in a dominant Premier League display.
The 21-year-old Englishman wasted no time in making his mark, carving his name into Chelsea’s record books by becoming the first player ever to score in seven consecutive Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, Footballrover reports.
Palmer’s clinical performance continued as he notched a perfect hat-trick, comprising goals with his left foot, a header, and a right-footed strike.
This accomplishment placed him among the Premier League’s youngest players to achieve a four-goal haul, ranking fifth on the list.
He also became the first Chelsea player since Frank Lampard in 2010 to net four goals in a single league match.
Palmer’s efficiency from the penalty spot remained immaculate as he converted his spot-kick, maintaining his perfect record of nine successful penalties in the Premier League.
This feat puts him in prestigious company, trailing only Yaya Touré’s record of 11 successful penalties.

With this commanding victory, Chelsea find themselves within touching distance of sixth place, boasting a game in hand and an upcoming FA Cup final.
