September 1st 2024.
In a thrilling game against Crystal Palace on Sunday, Chelsea's rising star Cole Palmer stole the show with an exceptional performance. Not only did he provide the assist for Nicolas Jackson's goal, but he also equalled a new Chelsea record. This young talent has been on an incredible upward trajectory since joining the Blues from Manchester City in 2023 for a whopping £42.5m.
Palmer's first season at the club was nothing short of impressive. He surpassed Eden Hazard's record for the most goals and assists in a single Premier League campaign. In just 34 games, he conjured up an impressive 22 goals and 11 assists. And this season, he has already made a strong start, with one goal and three assists in his first two matches.
In the game against Palace, Palmer once again proved his worth with his fourth assist of the season. He was heavily involved in Chelsea's first goal, providing a perfect pass for Jackson to tap in and give the Blues the lead. This means that Palmer has now equalled a record held by two former Chelsea stars - Hazard and Cesc Fabregas. He has certainly made his mark in the club's history books.
Former Premier League defender Curtis Davies couldn't help but praise Palmer's performance, saying, "Great breakaway from Chelsea." It's clear that he has caught the attention of many with his impressive skills on the field. However, despite his contributions, Chelsea was unable to secure three points as Palace scored an equaliser in the second half.
But the Blues have little time to dwell on the draw as they prepare for their next match against AFC Bournemouth on September 14. The Cherries have also been in fine form, producing a sensational comeback in their last game against Everton. Trailing 2-0 until the 87th minute, they scored three quick goals to win the game 3-2. It will be an exciting match for both teams.
