Cole Palmer has now done something that no other Chelsea player has in history

Chelsea fans endured another tough afternoon as Burnley held the Blues to a draw at Stamford Bridge – although the Premier League clash saw Cole Palmer make history.

Two goals from the England international – including an audacious panenka penalty – looked to have secured all three points for Chelsea, before an 81st minute equaliser from Dara O’Shea pegged the Blues bꦕack.

While Cole Palmer is surely gutted about Saturday’s 2-2 draw, the Chelsea No.20 can at l൲east take some comfort from the fact he h༒as now made history…

Cole Palmer makes Chelsea history

Well, no other 21-year-old in Chelsea’s history has ever registered 20 goal involvements in a single Premier Lea🎉gue campaign, until now.

After successfully deceiving Arijanet Muric and chipping his penalty down the middle, Palmer became the first player in Chelsea’s Premier League history tꦚo achieve the feat – according to StatsMuse FC.

The man even started to extend his own record with t💯hat 78th minute strike – which was his  goal involvement in just 25 Premier L🔴eague appearances this season.

Palmer now ha⛦s 13 goals and eight assists in the Premier League for Chelsea this season.

In all competitions, the man from Wythenshawe has remarkably scored 18 goals while also p🧸roviding 12 assists in just 38 games – a simply outstanding return for someone who is not even a striker.

Todd Boehly must learn from £42.5m deal

Rather than splashing millions on untested teenage talenඣt from abroad, such as Deivid Washington and Angelo Gabriel, Palmer💮’s success must show Todd Boehly how to spend his money most effectively.

The 21-year-old wanted out of Manchester City in order to have a more 🌸prominent role elsewhere, something he has certainly found as he takes the spotlight at Chelsea, and the Citizens reluctantly agre⛄ed to sell.

There are surely going to be more market opportunities to sign top talent like this, depending on how alert Chelsea are in📖 the transfer window.

Of course, £42.5m is not exactly a small fee, but Palmer is now worth at least (£86m) – according to the CIES Football O𓆏bservatory – and is⛄ the only player to have ensured Chelsea’s 2023/24 campaign has not turned out to be even worse, showing the value of signing Premier League proven talent.
