EPL: Palmer makes history with four goals in 20 minutes against Brighton

Cole Palmer delivered a stunning performance, netting four goals in 20 minutes as Chelsea dismantl Brighton in a first half surge at Stamford Bridge.

The 22-year-old became the first player to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League match.

Brighton initially took an early lead, but Palmer equalized with a low finish after exploiting Brighton’s high defensive line.

Seven minutes later, he doubled his tally by converting a penalty won by Jadon Sancho, calmly sending goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen the wrong way.

Palmer completed his hat-trick in style with a sublime 25-yard free-kick, curling it into the top corner despite Verbruggen’s attempt to save.

He added his fourth just before halftime, capitalizing on Sancho’s assist for a dominant Chelsea display.

Brighton’s Carlos Baleba pulled one back, but Palmer’s performance secured Chelsea’s three points in the match.
