'He reminds me of Lionel Messi!' - Cole Palmer equals incredible Eden Hazard stat with cold and calm goal for Chelsea against Bournemouth as Joe Cole makes GOAT comparison

Premier League

Chelsea

Wolverhampton

Bournemouth

Nottingham Forest

<p>Palmer gave Chelsea the lead against Bournemouth on Tuesday night at Stamford Bridge with a delicious goal in the 12th minute. As a result, he became the first Blues player since Eden Hazard (2013-14 and 2014-15) to be directly involved in at least 20 goals in back-to-back Premier League seasons.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At half-time, TNT Sports pundit and Chelsea legend Cole said of Palmer: "He reminds me of Messi...I wouldn't want to put that pressure on him!"</p>

WHAT JOE COLE SAID

<p>Plenty of eyebrows were raised when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-sign-cole-palmer-man-city-transfer/bltd18124f179769e9f" target="_blank">Chelsea paid £42.5 million to sign Palmer from Manchester City</a> in the summer of 2023 but now he makes that fee look like a bargain. The 22-year-old has scored 14 goals and bagged four assists in the Premier League this season and last term he notched 40 goal contributions in all competitions. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Palmer played 41 times for City and scored just six goals and created two assists. However, just 13 of those appearances were in a starting role.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After this Bournemouth game, Palmer's Chelsea host lowly Wolves in their next Premier League clash on Monday, January 20.</p>
