EPL: Cole Palmer continues to rewrite Chelsea history, matching Drogba, Lampard records

By Don Silas

In Chelsea’s emphatic Premier League 5-0 triumph over West Ham at the weekend, Cole Palmer showcased his prowess yet again, matching the club’s legends, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard’s records.

The English prodigy wasted no time, breaking the deadlock at Stamford Bridge a mere 15 minutes into the clash.

Alongside Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke, Palmer’s influence on Chelsea’s commanding performance was undeniable.

As the game progressed, Nicolas Jackson’s double sealed the victory, bolstering Chelsea’s ambitions for European glory.

Palmer’s goal marked his 21st in the Premier League, a feat in itself that underscores his talent.

However, his impact transcends mere numbers.

At just 21, he has matched the achievements of Lampard and Drogba.

Lampard and Drogba jointly hold the record for most Premier League home goals in a season for Chelsea, each notching 16 in different campaigns.

Palmer’s strike against West Ham sees him join these illustrious names in Chelsea’s history books.

Yet, the upcoming showdown against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge presents an opportunity for the former Man City star to carve out his own legacy as the sole record holder.
