Cole Palmer ended a goal drought of over three months by scoring a penalty during Chelsea's 3-1 victory over Liverpool. This performance was pivotal not just for his morale, as it marked his 37th goal in the Premier League, placing him 10th on Chelsea's all-time goalscorer list. Palmer showcased his skills with five shots and four created chances, emphasizing his determination and pride in assisting his team. Teammate Moises Caicedo commended Palmer for his hard work and contributions, reinforcing the collaborative spirit necessary for their Champions League ambitions.
"I just felt normal. Obviously, it happens, I went three months without scoring, but it just gives me more fight and motivation to do more for myself and for the team."
"Getting chances and not scoring, it feels like you're letting your team down. I feel like I am mentally strong anyway. I feel pride in helping the team and if I'm not doing that, I'm not happy."
"Today, I felt confident, I was trying things, first-time passes, playing forward. I've scored today, and I'm happy, but it's only one. I've got to keep improving."
Moises Caicedo praised Palmer for his efforts, saying, 'He's an amazing guy, always trains hard. He helps us a lot, even when he doesn't score. He deserves everything.'
