Chelsea’s Incredible Attacking Form: Cole Palmer Shines in 4-2 Win Over Brighton
In a chaotic and unpredictable game at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea secured a 4-2 win over Brighton, thanks to a remarkable performance from Cole Palmer, who scored all four goals in under 21 minutes, setting a new Premier League record. The victory has left Chelsea fans in high spirits, with the team now just one point behind Manchester City and Arsenal.
Cole Palmer: A Joy to Watch
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, has been praised for his ability to get the best out of his young and exciting side. Dean Smith, a former Premier League manager, has been equally impressed with Palmer’s performance, describing him as "easily the best player in the Premier League". Smith believes that Palmer’s ability to play with a sense of freedom and joy makes him a joy to watch, and that his talent is only going to continue to grow.
Is Cole Palmer Better Than Phil Foden?
Smith also raised the question of whether Palmer is better than Phil Foden, Manchester City’s talented young midfielder. While Foden has been impressive in his own right, Smith believes that Palmer’s consistency and ability to produce high-level performances week in, week out puts him ahead of his rival.
Jaden Sancho: Finding His Form at Chelsea
Jaden Sancho, a former Manchester United player, has also been impressing in his new surroundings at Chelsea. With three assists in three games, Sancho is looking confident and sharp, and it’s clear that he’s thriving under Maresca’s management.
Robert Sanchez: A Risk Worth Taking?
Brighton’s goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, pulled off some incredible saves during the game, but also made some mistakes that led to Chelsea’s goals. Maresca believes that Sanchez’s attacking style is worth the risk, even if it means conceding goals. Smith, however, is less convinced, and believes that the goalkeeper’s mistakes could be a problem for Brighton going forward.
Can Chelsea Challenge for the Title?
Despite their impressive start to the season, some are questioning whether Chelsea have the defensive solidity to challenge for the title. However, Smith believes that Chelsea’s attacking talent is only going to get better, and that they have the potential to make a serious push for the top four. With progression and consistency being the key, Chelsea fans will be hoping to see their team continue to impress in the coming weeks.
