Chelsea’s striker Cole Palmer scored in his standout performance in a 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Sunday.
Palmer scored the winner for Chelsea against Newcastle in the 47th minute, picking the ball up in midfield and racing to the edge of the box before smashing a low shot past Nick Pope for his seventh goal in nine league games this season.
His role in the opening goal was just as impressive, collecting the ball while facing his own goal, turning and sending a defence-splitting pass in one movement that set up Pedro Neto to provide a cross for Nicolas Jackson to score.
Palmer arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023 and went on to score 22 league goals and provide 11 assists last season, earning him a place in the England squad for Euro 2024 where he scored in the final defeat by Spain.
