Cole Palmer’s Teammate Leaves Brutal Five-Word Message on Chelsea Star’s Hat-Trick Ball
Cole Palmer’s incredible form continues to impress, but it seems one of his teammates isn’t too thrilled about it. After scoring an impressive four goals against Brighton, Palmer was left a ruthless five-word message on his hat-trick ball from Romeo Lavia: "You’re a mid player regardless."
Palmer’s stunning performance at Stamford Bridge saw him become the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in the first half of a game. He was gifted the match ball for his four-goal haul, but it seems Lavia wasn’t too impressed.
The message is certainly a tongue-in-cheek comment, given Palmer’s impressive form and ability. The 22-year-old has already scored six goals this campaign, and with his incredible finishing skills, he’s on course to enjoy another ultra-prolific term.
After the game, Enzo Maresca, who worked with Palmer at Manchester City, praised the forward’s attitude. "I knew Cole from many years ago. I had him at Man City in the under-23s. The best thing is as a human he’s still the same way. This doesn’t change his life and that’s the best thing for him," he said.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler also hailed Palmer as a ‘special’ player following his outing. "There aren’t many players like Cole Palmer in the Premier League. He’s special. He punished every single mistake we made. You can’t stop him."
Palmer’s incredible form has sparked interest from fans and pundits alike, and it’s clear that he’s on the right track. But Lavia’s message is a reminder that even the most talented players have room for improvement.
