Chelsea's Cole Palmer has achieved a Premier League first, becoming the first player in history to score three career first-half hat-tricks as his side took down Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at Molineux.
Palmer was on fire in the opening half of this highly anticipated match. He struck in the seventh minute before netting twice more in a four-minute span in the twelfth and thirteenth minutes, cementing his place as Chelsea's top scorer for tonight.
Despite the early onslaught from Palmer, Wolves managed to equalize through their own first-half goal scored by the tenth minute of the match. However, they were unable to overcome the deficit with Chelsea making some crucial adjustments at halftime which enabled them to maintain a 2-1 lead heading into the second half.
Chelsea further widened their gap in the final 10 minutes of the game when Palmer managed a third goal for his side, sending Wolves' hopes of comeback and victory to waste.
The win marks a significant success for Chelsea ahead of other fixtures in the league season as they moved up the table with three points from this match.
