Cole Palmer Surpasses Chelsea Legends with Record-Breaking Goal
Cole Palmer's latest goal against Fulham marks his 26th in 2024, breaking Chelsea's long-standing record and surpassing club legends like Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard.
Cole Palmer has etched his name into Chelsea's history books by scoring his 26th goal of 2024 during the Boxing Day match against Fulham. This achievement breaks the club's 23-year-old record for most goals in a calendar year, previously held by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who netted 25 times in 2001.
Despite Chelsea's 2-1 loss to Fulham, Palmer's performance was a standout. Early in the game, he delivered a precise shot to open the scoring, marking his 12th goal of the season. Beyond this season's tally, this goal elevated his total for the year, placing him ahead of Chelsea icons such as Didier Drogba, whose best was 22 goals in 2010, and Diego Costa, who scored 21 in 2016. Frank Lampard also featured prominently, with 20 goals in 2005.
Palmer's remarkable form has not only surpassed these legends but also set a new benchmark for future talents at Stamford Bridge. His consistent ability to find the back of the net underscores his growing importance to the team and cements his status as one of the Premier League's most prolific forwards this year.
