Cole Palmer endured another frustrating evening as his goal drought extended to nine consecutive matches, with the Chelsea star missing a penalty for the first time in his professional career.

Palmer had a golden opportunity to put Chelsea ahead in the first half against Leicester City after Jadon Sancho was fouled in the box. However, Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen denied him with a brilliant save, ending the Premier League’s longest-ever perfect penalty record.

Despite the miss, Palmer’s overall penalty record remains impressive, with 12 goals from 13 attempts. However, his recent struggles in front of goal mirror Chelsea’s inconsistent form this season.

Fortunately for the Blues, Marc Cucurella’s second-half strike secured a 1-0 victory, keeping them in the hunt for a top-four finish.
