Cole Palmer has now scored the most hat-tricks for Chelsea in their Premier League History 

Chelsea beat Wolves 3-1 to continue their push for the top four, and all their goals were scored by Cole Palmer.

When Rosenior and former Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said Palmer is the best player on this Chelsea team, performances like this make it hard to disagree. Palmer, who has been out for most of the season, was Chelsea’s star as they cut through Wolves like a pack to get all three points. 

Palmer, in just 84 games, has now become Chelsea’s highest goalscorer, surpassing Frank Lampard, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and Didier Drogba, who have all scored three hat-tricks for Chelsea.  Palmer’s 4th hattrick takes him level on 2nd with Son for the most PL hattricks since 2020, behind Haaland with 8.

Interestingly, Palmer appears three times on the list of the last four players to score a Premier League hat-trick before the 40th minute of a game.

Last four players to score a Premier League hat-trick before the 40th minute of a game:

Cole Palmer vs Everton (15 April 2024)

Cole Palmer vs Brighton (28 September 2024)

Omar Marmoush vs Newcastle (15 February 2025)

Cole Palmer vs Wolves (7 February 2026)

Palmer’s last goal to complete his hat-trick was also his first open play goals in almost a year. For many Chelsea fans, the Englishman is back and firing on all cylinders and he could be giving England manager Thomas Tuchel a lot to think about regarding his World Cup squad.
