Cole Palmer has made Premier League history after an outstanding performance against Wolverhampton, scoring a hat-trick in his side's 3-1 victory at Molineux.
The attacking midfielder scored twice from the penalty spot and then completed his hat-trick from open play, signalling a return to form after a difficult spell with injuries. Wolves managed to pull one back in the second half with Tolu Arokodare's goal, but without seriously jeopardising the visitors' victory.
With this performance, Palmer set a new historical record, becoming the first player in Premier League history to score three hat-tricks in the first half of matches.
Previously, he had scored hat-tricks in the first 45 minutes against Everton in April 2024 and Brighton in September 2024, where he even scored four goals within one half of the game.
After the match, coach Liam Rosenior praised Palmer's composure and quality from the penalty spot, emphasizing that individual successes also come thanks to collective play. "Cole is a world-class player and when the team is functioning well, he knows how to take advantage of every moment," said Rosenior.
With this victory, Palmer's team continues to compete in the championship, while the English star confirms his status as one of the Premier League's most decisive talents. /Express newspaper
