Alan Smith, a former striker for Arsenal, stated as much on Sports about Cole Palmer of Chelsea, the midfielder who scored four goals in his team’s 6-0 thumping of Everton.
Palmer was outstanding; he tied Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot after scoring a hat-trick in just 29 minutes and his 20th Premier League goal of the year in the second half.
Palmer, a 21-year-old who came from Manchester City to Chelsea this summer, had never scored a goal in the league, making it all the more amazing.
Palmer is tied with Alexander Isak of News with nine assists from his 28 Premier League games this season, a 33% opportunity conversion rate, and a 67% high shot accuracy. Each of the two forwards in form scores a goal around every 104 minutes of play.
After seven months, the England player might be on track to be the division’s highest scorer by the end.
