Chelsea’s star of the match, Cole Palmer, who ran riot against Brighton and Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, reflected on his stellar performance. The Blues secured a dominant 4-2 victory, with Palmer playing a pivotal role in their success.
Chelsea currently sit in fourth place in the Premier League table, having accumulated 13 points from their six games. With four wins, one draw, and one loss, the Blues are off to a strong start this season, positioning themselves as serious contenders for a top-four finish under manager Enzo Maresca.
Palmer’s performance has been a key factor in their recent form, and the young forward continues to show why he is one of the brightest prospects in English football.
Chelsea star Cole Palmer, who scored an incredible four goals and was the driving force behind the Blues’ 4-2 victory over Brighton, revealed in a post-match interview that he believed he could have scored five or even six goals. The youngster also praised his manager, Enzo Maresca, for devising a perfect game plan that effectively exploited Brighton’s weaknesses.
Palmer admitted he felt disappointed when he missed his first chance to score, but seeing Brighton’s high defensive line gave him confidence that more opportunities would come. His ability to quickly bounce back and capitalize on those chances showcased his maturity and tactical awareness on the field, further solidifying his place as one of Chelsea’s standout performers this season.
“I should have had five or six! When I missed the first chance I was upset but with the way they played and their high line I felt we’d get more chances. The manager set up a good game plan, we knew how to attack them with first-time passes in behind.”
Joining Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023 for £40 million with £2.5 million in add-ons, Cole Palmer has quickly established himself as one of the most integral players in the squad. His standout performances have earned him high praise from manager Enzo Maresca, who now regards him as one of the best players in the team.
So far this season, Palmer has recorded six goals and four assists in just eight appearances across all competitions. In his overall Chelsea stint, he has tallied an impressive 31 goals and 19 assists in 53 appearances for the West Londoners—remarkable numbers for a player who’s been with the club for such a short time.
After a brief European football break, during which Chelsea will face Gent, the Blues will return to Premier League action with a clash against Nottingham Forest on October 6. Palmer’s form will be key as Chelsea look to continue their strong start to the season.
