Cole Palmer was the star of the show, as Chelsea battered Everton 6-0.

Palmer scored four goals in that game, as the Blues produced their best display of the season.

Cole Palmer scored a hat-trick inside 29 minutes, to help seal the win for Chelsea, before scoring a fourth goal in the second half.

Cole Palmer has now set a new record for the fastest ‘perfect hat-trick’ scored by any player in a Premier League game.

Palmer scored using the right foot, the left foot and a goal via a header, thus making it a perfect hat-trick.

Achieving this in 29 minutes, Palmer has now beat the previous record set by Tommy Johnson for Aston Villa (38 minutes) back in 1995.

The Englishman is also only the second Chelsea player to score hat-tricks in back-to-back home Premier League games since Didier Drogba.

Palmer has taken his tally to 20 goals in the Premier League and is currently tied with Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot award.
