Cole Palmer makes PL history after scoring 2 penalties for Chelsea in PL clash against Tottenham

Chelsea star Cole Palmer made Premier League history after scoring two penalties for the Blues in their 4-3 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, December 8. The England international has now scored the most penalties without missing in Premier League history.

Cole Palmer made his breakthrough in the 2023-24 season after moving to Chelsea and has continued his sublime form this season. With his two goals on Sunday, Palmer moved to 11 league goals this season, half of his tally from last season.

The Englishman's two nerveless penalties, the second of which was a panenka to put the Blues 4-2 up, made him a Premier League record holder. He became the player with the longest streak of penalties without a miss, having scored all 12 of his penalties in the league.

The former Manchester City man overtook City legend Yaya Toure, who scored 11 consecutive penalties in the league without missing. His goals helped the Blues to turn a 2-1 deficit to a comfortable 4-2 lead, setting the foundation for an important win.

Cole Palmer also become the Blues' most productive player in a calendar year with 39 goal contributions in 2024, breaking Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's record from 2001.
