EPL: Cole Palmer eclipses Chelsea legend after Spurs brace

Cole Palmer has cemented his status as a rising star with a record-breaking performance in Chelsea’s stunning comeback 4-3 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. 

The 22-year-old forward achieved two significant milestones, showcasing his exceptional talent and impact on the team.

Palmer's first feat came when he confidently converted a penalty to equalise for Chelsea, making it 2-2 after they had trailed by two goals. 

The successful spot-kick extended his perfect penalty record in the Premier League to 11 out of 11, equalling Yaya Toure's record for the most penalties scored without a miss.

He then broke another record later in the match, scoring his second penalty of the game and setting a new Premier League record for the most consecutive successful penalties with 12.

Furthermore, Palmer's brace marked his 37th goal contribution (goals and assists combined) in the Premier League this calendar year. 

This surpassed Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's long-standing Chelsea record of 36 goal contributions in a single year, set back in 2001.

The Englishman’s exceptional form has been crucial to the West London club’s success this season, with his creativity and goal-scoring ability highlighting his importance to Enzo Maresca’s Blues. 

Chelsea return to Premier League action on December 15 against Brentford after facing Astana in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.
