Cole Palmer: Chelsea History & Premier League Hat-Trick

Matchday 25 of the Premier League has helped Cole Palmer become a historic footballer for Chelsea and he scored a hat trick against Wolverhampton that will be remembered forever.

The Blues are going through a great moment under the leadership of Liam Rosenior and achieved their fourth consecutive victory in the league competition. This match was no exception: led by ‘Captain Cold’, they achieved a victory that momentarily placed them in fifth position in the table.

Palmer was the great architect of the 3-1 victory, scoring his three goals before the break. The first came in the 13th minute, after converting from the spot after an unnecessary knockdown by Matt Doherty on João Pedro inside the area.

At minute 35, the Englishman was again present from the eleven steps, after Yerson Mosquera committed a new foul inside the area on João Pedro, an action that gave rise to the second goal. When it seemed that the scoreboard would not move any further before the break, Palmer appeared again just three minutes later, taking advantage of a break from Marc Cucurella, who served him the ball so he could finish alone and complete his hat trick.

With this record, Cole Palmer already has three hat-tricks scored in the first half of a Premier League match, after previously achieving it against Everton in April 2024 and against Brighton in September of that same year.

With this, he became the first footballer to achieve this feat three times. In addition, he has been the protagonist of three of the four most recent hat-tricks scored before the 40th minute in the Premier League; The only different case was that of Omar Marmoush, who achieved it against Newcastle United in February 2025.
