For the first time in history! A unique event took place in the EPL match. Video

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer became the first player in history to score in the first half of the English Premier League. According to OptaJoe, no player has ever managed to score four goals in the Premier League before the break.

The match of the 6th round with Brighton was not easy for Chelsea. In the 7th minute, the Blues conceded the first goal, but in the 21st minute, the 22-year-old England midfielder took over.

With an interval of 20 minutes, Palmer managed to upset the goalkeeper four times.

Mykhailo Mudryk also played in this match. The Ukrainian footballer appeared on the field in the 71st minute instead of Jaydon Sancho. In 24 minutes (19 regular time and 5 extra time), the 23-year-old midfielder of the Ukrainian national team touched the ball twice and made one accurate pass, lost the ball and was offside.

This victory allowed Chelsea to gain 13 points and secure 4th place in the standings.
