It is common tradition for a player to take home the match ball after scoring three or more goals in a Premier League game.

On Saturday, it was Cole Palmer’s turn to go home with the match ball after he scored four goals against Brighton.

Teammates often pend their autographs on the match ball, and one Chelsea player left a comment that reads: ‘You’re a mid player regardless’.

Romeo Lavia who had known Cole Palmer from their Manchester City days took a dig at his teammate after his stunning performance.
