Recently, Chelsea demolished Brighton with a score-line of 4-2. No one expected that Fabian Hurzeller would be beaten by Marecsa. At this moment, the Blues are sitting in fourth place in the English Premier League. All the credit goes to Cole Palmer for this feat.
A few seasons ago, this might have been an impossible thing for Chelsea, but now they are dominating the league. They have played teams like Wolves, Brighton, and Bournemouth and defeated all of them. After playing six games, the Blues have collected 13 points.
Everyone is expecting that Chelsea will have a special season under Maresca, which might come true. Among all of these things, one player has snatched the spotlight. Everyone is talking about him. Some pundits are also claiming that Pep Guardiola has made a massive mistake by selling this player to Chelsea.
He is none other than the young player of the year, Cole Palmer. At this moment, he is shaking the entire English Premier League. Pundits are saying that he can win the Ballon d’Or if they keep on performing like this.
A Perfect Performance from Palmer
It was more than a perfect performance from Cole Palmer. He took the responsibility to demolish Brighton with his own feet. After scoring four goals in the first half, everyone was astounded. Some rival fans were saying that Palmer only scores from penalties.
This time, he proved them wrong because he scored different goals in a span of 10 minutes. That is something extraordinary for any young player. Whenever Palmer plays, the fans love to see it because he is the one who makes things happen in the final third.
In this match, Cole Palmer has made history after becoming the first player to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League match. In these goals, he scored a free kick, a penalty, and two goals from open plays. This made a perfect first half for the Blues. According to SBNation, he scored 4 goals against Everton but all the goals were not scored in the first half.
In every move, he outplays the opponent players. Cole Palmer is an elegant and effective player. The English midfielder is at the heart of Chelsea’s attack. He has added his name with the Chelsea legends who have scored three hat-tricks for the club.
He is surrounded by players like Jadon Sancho, Nicolas Jackson, and Noni Madueke. On the bench, they have Jao Felix, Pedro Neto, and Christopher Nkunku. This team is looking scary.
Recent Chelsea performance
Maresca has changed the mentality of the entire Chelsea squad. Whenever the Blues conceded a goal, their morals used to get down. Now they have the hunger to score goals.
Last game, we saw that Brighton scored first. After this goal, the Blues showed urgency to make a comeback. This is what they were lacking in previous seasons. Now Chelsea are showing everyone that they are worthy of a top-four finish.
Earlier Chelsea fans used to get bored after watching their team’s performance. Now they are eagerly watching every single match. From Carabao Cup to English Premier League, the fans are supporting their team with passion.
If Chelsea keep on playing like this, they can achieve something big. For example, they might even win the UEFA Conference League.
Bigger picture behind-the-scenes
A few days ago, we were hearing that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were fighting with each other for their stakes, but now these tumors have been suppressed by recent Chelsea performances.
In the last few games, both owners came to watch the Blues. This proves performance is the main thing for any football club. It can change any situation. For example, there is massive turmoil inside the United dressing room.
The fans are extremely sad after their loss against Tottenham Hotspurs. Their bad performance is at the root of the entire situation. On the other hand, Chelsea have made a U-turn and are delivering masterclass performances.
