NO more faffing about, no more excuses, no more hogwash. Get Cole Palmer in the England side NOW.
Four-star Palmer filled his boots, including a 16-minute hat-trick – his second treble in consecutive home games – to destroy woeful Everton, who were so bad they should have had more points deducted for a defensive shambles at Stamford Bridge.
Four he’s a jolly good fellow? Palmer has carried Chelsea all season, and at £42.5m he already looks like the steal of the century.
With 11 goals in his last five games, everything he touches is turning to gold – and right now he is one in a bullion.
Palmer, 21, is the first Chelsea player to score four goals in a Premier League game since Frank Lampard in 2010.
He even came out on top after being made to squabble with two of his own team-mates for the spotkick which brought him level with Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.
In front of England assistant manager Steve Holland, his first-half hatful was the perfect treble: Left foot, right foot, header.
And Everton’s defensive apocalypse was the perfect mess:
Spineless, clueless, hopeless. On this evidence, you have to fear for Sean Dyche’s side.
