'Chelsea ace'Chel Palmer wrote the history of the first ever English Premier League (EPL) 'Pottrick'
On the 28th (Korea time), Palmer played against Brighton at Stamford Bridge in London, England in the 7th minute of the first half in the 6th round of the EPL After giving up one goal to Luther, he scored an equalizer in the 21st minute of the first half, a penalty in the 28th minute of the first half, a free kick wedge in the 31st minute of the first half, and an additional goal in the 41st minute of the first half, showing a crazy performance of scoring four goals in the first half alone. With four goals in 19 minutes and 57 seconds in the first half, Palmer was named the first player in EPL history to score a port trick in 45 minutes.
Son Heung-min also made a port trick against Southampton in September 2020, but the port trick in the first half is an unprecedented milestone that no famous EPL goaltender such as Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, Thierry Henry and Elling Holan has ever climbed. He also scored three goals in 9 minutes and 48 seconds, setting a record for the shortest hat trick ever recorded by a Chelsea player. Palmer scored his third hat-trick since joining last season, tied for Chelsea's most with Jimmy Floyd Haselbink and Frank Lampard. He also scored all 10 penalties, the second most after Haselbink's 12 consecutive successes, and he has scored 43 goals (28 goals and 15 assists) since last season, the most offensive points in the EPL.
Palmer was ranked second in league scoring after Holan, who scored 10 goals in six games..
Chelsea won 4-2 thanks to Palmer's four goals in the first half, winning three consecutive league games and winning five consecutive games (4 wins and 1 draw).
BBC Sport summoned Dennis Bergkamp and Robin van Persie after Palmer's milestone. Former England international, Arsenal legend striker Theo Walcott said `Palmer has the same sophistication as Verkamp and Van Persie.' Berkamp is an EPL Hall of Fame Arsenal striker who has scored 87 goals and 94 assists in 315 matches, lifting three championships in 11 seasons. Van Persie, a Dutch national university graduate, played for Arsenal for eight years before winning the 2012-2013 season with Manchester United.
Walcott watched Palmer play and said "Speechless". "He has grown into his own style at Chelsea and is a regular. He can't be left out of any team, and the same goes for England."He is so talented that he will be in awe that his players are afraid of him. If it goes on like this, Palmer will be a legend in the Premier League."
Former Manchester City defender Mika Richards told the BBC on Match of the Day"When Palmer scored 22 goals last season, will he be able to do it again. We haven't talked enough about his movements. Palmer's running timing is excellent. Everything he does is so natural." "He's really ahead, especially in terms of the footballer's brain. It's a lot of fun to watch. He has everything. If he plays as the main striker, he gets two marks, but he still does his part."
Gary Lineker also "Every time I see him, I feel like I'm going to take my breath away. a special footballer." "Of all the talented players England has, he's probably the best."
However, Palmer had no intention of complacency or satisfaction. In a BBC Radio 5 live interview, "I was angry when I missed my first chance, but I knew I would get more opportunities when I saw the way the players played and the high line. You should've caught five or six times", he expressed his regret. "I just try to play to my best every game and show that kind of performance."
'Legend' He also humbly answered the comparison with Bercamp and Van Persie. "Berkamp is a legend in the Premier League but I haven't really seen him. Thank you Walcott for mentioning with the best player.
