Match Action
Cole Palmer, Chelsea's star, helped his side take the lead in the Saturday night clash with Everton at Stamford Bridge, as part of round 16 of the Premier League.
First Half Moment and Milestones
In the 21st minute of the first half, Palmer received a superb through ball from Malo Gusto between Everton's defenders and finished with a left foot shot from the angle.
LiveScore noted that this was Palmer's first Chelsea league goal since September.
Stats from Skaqa indicate that this was Palmer's 39th Chelsea league goal, moving him past club legend Nicolas Anelka who had 38.
They also noted that eight players have scored more for Chelsea in the competition's history. Palmer has five goals against Everton, the most he has scored against any opponent in the league.
Punchline 1: That finish was so precise the net whispered nice shot to the ball.
Punchline 2: If goals had a warranty, Palmer would be delivering a full season of goal-guarantees to Chelsea fans.
