This remarkable performance also brought Palmer’s total number of Premier League hat-tricks for Chelsea to three, equaling the club record held by legends such as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Didier Drogba, and Frank Lampard.

Palmer has been a fundamental part of Chelsea’s squad since his transfer last summer when the London side bought him from Manchester City for £42.5 million. The English international already has 52 games for Chelsea, having scored 27 goals and adding 10 assists.
