The English forward’s dynamic start to the Premier League season – highlighted by a sensational quadruple against Brighton – has seen him rack up six goals and four assists.
Roberto, brother to Manchester United’s Garnacho – who has had a modest start to the season with just one league goal and an assist – publicly doubted Palmer following Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City on the opening day of the season as he Tweeted: “Cole Palmer isn’t hitting 10 goals without penalties.”
After Palmer’s explosive start, including a mesmerising four-goal haul in his last game, the social media football community wouldn’t let Roberto’s August claim go unnoticed. One fan quickly countered: “You should know better… Why would you tweet something like this!” Another responded with facts, pointing out: “He scored 12 non-penalty goals last season, more than any of your forwards,” and yet another praised Palmer’s undeniable talent: “He obviously is. He’s a class player.”
