Chelsea soared to third in the Premier League table, thrashing Brighton 6-2 at Stamford Bridge, with Cole Palmer stealing the show.

The 22-year-old England forward became the first player to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League match, leading Chelsea’s blistering attack.

Brighton took an early lead through Georginio Rutter, but Palmer’s sensational display turned the game around. He:

1. Opened scoring with Nicolas Jackson’s assist

2. Converted his 10th consecutive penalty after Jadon Sancho was fouled

3. Scored a stunning 25-yard free kick

4. Added his fourth with a precise finish from Sancho’s pass

Brighton’s Carlos Baleba briefly gave his team hope, but Chelsea’s relentless pressure proved too much.

Key Stats:

– Cole Palmer’s four goals in 45 minutes

– Palmer’s 10th consecutive successful penalty

– Chelsea’s 6-2 win, following their 6-0 thrashing of Wolves

Post-Match Analysis:

– Brighton’s high defensive line exposed

– Robert Sanchez’s errors cost Brighton

– Fabian Hurzeler’s first defeat as Brighton manager

The second half saw fewer incidents, but Palmer squandered a chance for a fifth goal, firing wide.

Chelsea’s attacking prowess continues to impress, while Brighton’s tactics raised eyebrows.
