In a remarkable Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's Cole Palmer made history by becoming the first player to score four goals in the first half of a match. Palmer's performance included a hat-trick within 10 minutes, contributing to Chelsea's 4-2 lead over Brighton by halftime. The goals were scored in the 21st, 28th (penalty), 31st (free-kick), and 41st minutes, with Brighton's Carlos Baleba scoring in the 34th minute to make it 3-2 before Palmer's fourth goal.
