Cole Palmer's brace against Spurs helped him break many records . In addition, the English player was also praised for his courage and daring when he took a Panelka-style penalty kick into the opponent's net when Chelsea was only leading by one goal.
Cole Palmer revealed the reason for his Panelka kick : "As I put the ball down and stepped back to gain momentum, a thought suddenly flashed through my head. I knew exactly how I had to take the penalty. It was near the end of the game and if I kicked it, it would be crazy. So I lobbed the ball into the net."

I know Chelsea fans had a tough time before I came here. Even last season, my teammates and I struggled. But now Chelsea fans can smile. That's what I want to bring to the team."
