In Chelsea\u2019s emphatic Premier League 5-0 triumph over West Ham at the weekend, Cole Palmer showcased his prowess yet again, matching the club\u2019s legends, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard\u2019s records.<\/p>\n

The English prodigy wasted no time, breaking the deadlock at Stamford Bridge a mere 15 minutes into the clash.<\/p>\n

Alongside Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke, Palmer\u2019s influence on Chelsea\u2019s commanding performance was undeniable.<\/p>\n

As the game progressed, Nicolas Jackson\u2019s double sealed the victory, bolstering Chelsea\u2019s ambitions for European glory.<\/p>\n

Palmer\u2019s goal marked his 21st in the Premier League, a feat in itself that underscores his talent.<\/p>\n

However, his impact transcends mere numbers.<\/p>\n

At just 21, he has matched the achievements of Lampard and Drogba.<\/p>\n

Lampard and Drogba jointly hold the record for most Premier League home goals in a season for Chelsea, each notching 16 in different campaigns.<\/p>\n

Palmer\u2019s strike against West Ham sees him join these illustrious names in Chelsea\u2019s history books.<\/p>\n

Yet, the upcoming showdown against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge presents an opportunity for the former Man City star to carve out his own legacy as the sole record holder.<\/p>\n
