In the 15th minute of the 36th round match between Chelsea and West Ham (5-0), in the English Premier League (EPL), the home team's midfielder Cole Palmer scored his 21st goal of the current season in the country's championship.
Thus, the midfielder became the third young player in Premier League history to score more than 20 goals in a season. Previously, this achievement was only accomplished by Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler in the 1994/1995 and 1995/1996 seasons, and forward Chris Sutton in the 1993/1994 season, while playing for Blackburn Rovers.
In the current season, the 21-year-old Palmer has played 45 matches across all competitions for Chelsea, scoring 26 goals and making 13 assists. His contract with the club is valid until the summer of 2030, and his market value, according to Transfermarkt, is estimated at 55 million euros.
