Midfielder Cole Palmer became the first Chelsea player to have 10 goals and 10 assists in his first season with the club.

Chelsea traveled to Nottingham Forest’s home ground in their latest match on Saturday (May 11th).

With a determined effort to secure a spot in the European Cup for the next season, Chelsea started the game enthusiastically, constantly creating dangerous opportunities towards the home team’s goal. In one such instance, midfielder Cole Palmer made an excellent through pass to forward Mykhalo Mudryk, who calmly finished to open the scoring for “The Blues” in the 8th minute.

With this assist, Palmer has now provided 10 assists for his teammates in the Premier League, setting a new record at the London club. Specifically, Palmer has become the first Chelsea player to achieve 10 assists and 10 goals or more in his debut season for “The Blues”. The former Man City player is currently the second-highest scorer in the race for the Golden Boot this season with 21 goals, only behind Erling Haaland.

Palmer created impressive achievements in his first season with Chelsea.

In addition to his impressive achievements, Palmer has also become the third player in Chelsea’s history to score 20 goals and provide 10 assists or more in a single season, joining the ranks of legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, who achieved this feat in the 2009/2010 season. Furthermore, Palmer is the third English player to accomplish this feat in the Premier League overall, alongside Harry Kane in the 2020/2021 season and Frank Lampard in the 2009/2010 season.

With his current form, Palmer is expected to help Chelsea achieve their goal of securing a spot in the European Cup for the next season. Additionally, he is poised to make a strong impression on England national team manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the Euro 2024 tournament.
