Cole Palmer BREAKS Premier League Record in Chelsea’s 4-3 Win Against Tottenham

Chelsea star Cole Palmer made Premier League history with an incredible performance in his team’s 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, December 8. The England international scored two penalties in the match, setting a new record for the most penalties scored without a miss in Premier League history.

Palmer’s two goals from the penalty spot helped Chelsea come from behind to secure a crucial win. The young star’s first penalty brought the Blues level at 2-2, while his second penalty, a cheeky panenka, put them ahead 4-2 in the 84th minute. This remarkable achievement saw Palmer extend his perfect record from the spot to 12 successful penalties in a row, surpassing the previous record of 11 consecutive penalties held by Manchester City legend Yaya Toure.

With these two goals, Palmer now has 11 league goals this season, already matching half of his total from last season. The former Manchester City forward is proving to be an essential player for Chelsea, and his performances this season are a testament to his growing influence in the team.

The match against Tottenham was a thrilling London derby, and Chelsea had to fight hard to earn all three points. Tottenham took an early 2-0 lead, with goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski. However, Chelsea responded quickly, with Jadon Sancho pulling one back in the 17th minute, making it 2-1.

In the second half, Moises Caicedo won a penalty for Chelsea, which Palmer converted to equalize at 2-2. Enzo Fernandez then put Chelsea ahead with a fine half-volley in the 73rd minute. Palmer’s second penalty in the 84th minute put Chelsea 4-2 up, and despite a late goal from Heung-min Son in stoppage time, Chelsea held on to win the match 4-3.

Palmer’s brace was part of an outstanding year for the 21-year-old, who also became Chelsea’s most productive player in a calendar year. He broke Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s record from 2001, reaching 39 goal contributions in 2024.

The win over Tottenham was Chelsea’s third consecutive victory, moving them to second place in the Premier League table, just four points behind leaders Liverpool. With Palmer in such great form, Chelsea will be hoping to continue their strong run and challenge for the title this season.
