Chelsea's Cole Palmer beat Yaya Toure's record to become the most prolific perfect penalty taker
Chelsea forward Cole Palmer continues to amaze, cementing his reputation as one of the Premier League's coolest penalty takers.
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest FootballNews from Pulse Sports.
His flawless conversion rate from the spot reached a record-breaking 12 goals, breaking Yaya Toure’s long-standing record for the most penalties scored without a miss in the league. Remarkably, Palmer’s perfection from the penalty spot comes with an unusual twist, as revealed by manager Enzo Maresca.
Palmer’s penalty brilliance
Palmer’s composure was on full display during Chelsea’s dramatic 4-2 comeback win against Tottenham.
)
The 21-year-old first equalised from the penalty spot after Yves Bissouma fouled Moises Caicedo, calmly sending Fraser Forster the wrong way to tie Yaya Toure’s record of 11 penalties without a miss.
Later in the match, Palmer claimed the record outright after being fouled by Pape Matar Sarr with the Blues already 3-2 up.
)
With the game on a knife’s edge, he audaciously chipped the ball down the middle to notch his 12th penalty without a miss.
Maresca’s Insight into Palmer’s perfection
Speaking after the game, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca shed light on Palmer’s penalty prowess, revealing a surprising secret: Palmer doesn’t practice penalties during training.
)
“Since we started, I have not seen Cole shooting penalties [in training],” Maresca said, adding, “He belongs to that kind of player.
“They are not normal players; they are top players. Top players do things that normal players, or us, cannot do. It’s because he’s top.”
)
Maresca also praised Palmer’s overall performance, saying, “The good thing about him tonight was Bissouma was marking him man-to-man, so he needs to learn how to play against a team that goes man-to-man with him, but he was fantastic.”
Chelsea’s comeback win propelled them back to second place in the Premier League, narrowing the gap to leaders Liverpool to four points, albeit having played one game more.
