Palmer again! Every hat-trick Cole has scored for ChelseaMore was to come in the second half when we were awarded a penalty and Palmer calmly stepped up to convert in his usual style. That meant he had four goals in a game for the first time. It wouldn't be the last.## Hat-trick three: Chelsea 4-2 Brighton, September 2024After the Blues had gone behind early, Palmer stole the show to end Brighton's hopes of leaving the Bridge with anything to show for their effort.The 22-year-old had already hit the post and had a goal disallowed when he equalised with a simple finish from Nicolas Jackson's unselfish lay-off. And 10 minutes later he had completed a rapid-fire hat-trick via a penalty and stunning free-kick from 25 yards.Yet before the opening period was up, Palmer added a fourth with a first-time finish to beat the keeper at his near post after latching on to Jadon Sancho's well-weighted through-ball.That goal ensured Palmer became the first player to score four times in the first half of a Premier League match – and made it four wins in a row for Chelsea.Hat-trick four: Wolves 1-3 Chelsea, February 2026Cole had to wait to score his fourth Chelsea hat-trick, but when it arrived, it was his first away from Stamford Bridge.It came against a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers side – and all three goals were struck in the opening 45 minutes.The first broke the deadlock at Molineux after Joao Pedro had been fouled and Palmer stepped up to convert from the spot. His second was also a penalty, again after Joao Pedro was brought down.Palmer's hat-trick was rounded off with just 38 minutes on the clock; the 23-year-old rounded off a well-worked team move by firing into the roof of the net from a Marc Cucurella cutback.
