Chelsea forward Cole Palmer achieved a milestone reminiscent of club legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba on Sunday (May 5) as Chelsea dominated West Ham United 5-0 in the Premier League.

Palmer initiated the scoring within the first 15 minutes at Stamford Bridge, with Conor Gallagher and Nodi Madueke adding to the tally to secure a commanding 3-0 lead for Mauricio Pochettino’s side heading into halftime. With West Ham struggling to mount a response, Nicolas Jackson’s brace sealed an emphatic victory for Chelsea, who currently sit fifth in the league standings after 35 games. Notably, Palmer’s goal on Sunday saw him join Lampard (2009-10) and Drogba (2006-07) as the only Chelsea players to score 16 Premier League home goals in a single season (as per METRO).

Should Palmer find the net against Bournemouth on the final day of the season on May 19, he would claim sole possession of this record. Furthermore, he becomes the first player since Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (32 goals, nine assists) in the 2000-01 season to contribute to 30 goals in a single campaign, having scored 21 times and provided nine assists.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance in the resounding victory over West Ham. Coming just three days after a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at home, Chelsea demonstrated their dominance against West Ham, securing back-to-back clean sheets in a strong finish to what has been a challenging season.

“I’m delighted for the players and staff,” Pochettino remarked (as per Sky Sports via BBC). “Following the victory against Tottenham and then returning with such a performance after just a few days is very encouraging.”

He went on to describe the game as “brilliant” and “amazing,” praising the team’s response and competitiveness.
