BBC pundit stunned by ‘mind boggling’ Cole Palmer moment during Chelsea v Brighton

Chelsea defeated Brighton tonight in a tense match in which Cole Palmer was once again the focal point of Enzo Maresca’s side’s success.

Palmer scored four goals in the first 45 minutes, cementing his reputation as one of the Premier League’s best performers. Palmer scored

twice in open play before adding a penalty and a fantastic free kick to deliver the weekend’s best performance.

Of course, Palmer’s stock has been rising since his arrival to Chelsea, and he appears to have accelerated even more this season.

Palmer brilliantly despatched his set-piece up and over the wall in a moment of great excellence, and BBC pundit Rachel Brown-Finnis

praised Palmer’s effort. “Cole Palmer’s free kick was incredible. Angle and dip. “Stunning,” she said.

Pep Guardiola has done a lot of things right as Manchester City manager, but one of the biggest drawbacks has been the selling of Cole

Palmer. At the time, Pep simply wished Palmer luck and conceded that he couldn’t match Chelsea’s game time.

But that now appears to be a huge blunder, because Palmer has demonstrated time and again that he is one of the finest in the business.

Chelsea has one of the best buys on the market at £40 million, and Palmer may make a significant difference this season.
