'A mid player' - Romeo Lavia leaves hilarious message for record-breaking Cole Palmer after incredible four-goal haul in Chelsea's thrilling win over Brighton

Palmer became the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in one half of Premier League football against Brighton. The Blues won the game 4-2, and Palmer walked away with the match ball.

As is tradition, his Chelsea team-mates signed the ball, and Lavia left a hilarious message. The former Southampton midfielder came off the bench to make his comeback from injury against the Seagulls.

Lavia wrote on the ball: "You're a mid player, regardless."
