Man City's biggest regret? Palmer now level with Haaland in Golden Boot race

Cole Palmer's stunning 4-goal display against Everton has propelled him to the top of the Premier League Golden Boot race.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer scored 4 times against Everton to take his league tally for the season to 20 goals.

This took him joint-top of the scoring chart, level with Manchester City's Erling Haaland.

He took his goals with aplomb, finishing with right foot, left foot, a header, and one from the penalty spot.

This remarkable feat has sparked discussions about whether Manchester City may rue the decision to sell him to Chelsea.

Palmer's swift rise to prominence has elevated his status and raised questions about the wisdom of City's choice.

The 21-year old could have benefited from a full season at the Etihad, and while Jeremy Doku has been a good signing, Palmer may have had a similar impact.

In the end, the £42.5 million Chelsea paid to sign him appears to have been a bargain.
