Cole Palmer scored the quickest ever hat-trick for Chelsea in the Premier League as the Blues put Everton to the sword in a remarkable first half at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer, 21, has been a revelation since arriving in west London from Manchester City last summer and continued his stunning form against Sean Dyche’s Toffees.

The England international nutmegged Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite before placing a precise strike past Jordan Pickford to give Chelsea the lead on 13 minutes.

Shortly after Palmer headed home into an empty net after Nicolas Jackson’s shot was only half-saved by Pickford.

Palmer completed his perfect hat-trick – scoring with both feet and his head – inside half an hour as he intercepted a poor pass from Pickford and lifted a delightful lob over the stranded England goalkeeper.
‘If there is anybody in the Premier league you don’t want to give the ball to in that situation it is Cole Palmer,’ ex-Arsenal striker Alan Smith said on the Sky Sports commentary.

‘Palmer cannot believe his luck here, he takes it like it was the easiest chance in the world. He is playing with such confidence, he is bossing it.’
