Cole Palmer delivered a spectacular performance for Chelsea, netting a first-half hat-trick in their recent match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This victory marks Chelsea’s continued rise under the management of Liam Rosenior.
Cole Palmer’s Historic Hat-Trick
Palmer’s exceptional display began to unfold when he converted two penalties early in the match. His first penalty came after Joao Pedro was fouled inside the box, which he skillfully sent into the bottom corner. The second penalty saw Palmer sending the goalkeeper the wrong way, again following a foul on Pedro.
Palmer completed his hat-trick in the 38th minute by driving in a goal from a pass by Marc Cucurella. Notably, this achievement placed him in the Premier League record books as the first player to score three first-half hat-tricks.
