WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international put on a masterclass with four goals in a thrilling win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Despite becoming the first player to score four goals in a first half in Premier League history, the former Manchester City man was not entirely satisfied - nor was Blues boss Maresca.
GettyWHAT COLE PALMER SAID
He told Match of the Day: "I should have had five or six! When I missed the first chance I was upset but with the way they played and their high line I felt we'd get more chances. The manager set up a good game plan, we knew how to attack them with first-time passes in behind. Brighton are a good team, pass the ball well. [Brighton] play similarly to us. Three points is what we needed and that is what we got. I try and play every game the best I can."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Since signing for Chelsea last summer, Palmer has scored 31 goals and bagged 19 assists in just 53 games. He is currently showing that last season's numbers were not a fluke - with some Blues fans calling him the "best in the world".
Head coach Maresca also heaped praise on him but felt he could do even better.
The Italian said: "[Palmer] scored four, I told him he could have scored two or three more. I knew Cole from years ago at City, he is a top player and just has to continue in the same way."
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT?
After his goalscoring heroics in the Premier League, Palmer's Chelsea side host Gent in their next Europa Conference League match on Thursday - a game the 22-year-old will not be playing in as he is not in the Blues' squad for the competition.
