Chelsea made a significant signing last year by acquiring Cole Palmer from Manchester City, and the young player has exceeded expectations with his recent performance. Palmer made history by becoming the first player to score four goals in the first half of an English Premier League match during Chelsea's 4-2 victory over Brighton. This remarkable feat has further solidified Chelsea's position as a formidable team this season, following substantial investments in player acquisitions over the past two years.
Palmer, who was one of Chelsea's expensive signings at a cost of at least 40 million pounds, has proven his worth with an impressive goal-scoring record. Last season, he scored 22 league goals, ranking second only to Man City's Erling Haaland. Palmer's exceptional form has continued into the current campaign, with six goals in just six games.
In contrast, Manchester City faced challenges in their recent match against Newcastle, resulting in a 1-1 draw. The absence of midfielder Rodri, who is sidelined for the season due to injury, was keenly felt by the team. Despite Haaland's prolific scoring record, he was unable to find the net in this game, with defender Josko Gvardiol scoring City's only goal.
Arsenal capitalized on City's draw by securing a 4-2 victory over Leicester, thanks to two late goals. Liverpool emerged as the new league leader after defeating Wolverhampton 2-1, with Mohamed Salah scoring the winning goal from a penalty kick.
Other notable results included Brentford's early goal against West Ham, Everton's first win of the season against Crystal Palace, and Fulham's victory over Nottingham Forest. The competitive nature of the league was evident as teams battled for crucial points.
Overall, the English Premier League continues to deliver thrilling matches and standout performances, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with each game.
