Cole Palmer's influence reaches darts: Rashad Sweeting whips out 'cold' celebration after hitting 180 at World Championships following request from fan

Sweeting nailed a 180 during his PDC World Championship match against Jeffrey de Graaf and turned around to perform Palmer's 'ice cold' celebration.

It turns out that the 34-year-old, the first player to ever represent the Bahamas at the competition, was fulfilling a request from a fan. He was sent a private message on social media asking him to copy Palmer's moves after a 180. "Rashad Sweeting you are my hero," the fan posted on X later.

The celebration has become a popular one as Chelsea hero Palmer performs it after scoring a goal, and he has been doing plenty of that since joining the London team from Manchester City in 2023. He has even moved to trademark his nickname 'Cold Palmer' which inspired the shivering celebration.

Chelsea are on a seven game winning run and currently sit second in the Premier League. Palmer will not feature in the Conference League clash against Shamrock Rovers on Thursday as he is ineligible, but will be back in action in the Premier League clash with Everton.
