“There’s no doubt about it now, He’s the best in the world” – A Sky Sports pundit expressed admiration for Cole Palmer’s impressive display during Chelsea’s match against Newcastle United. Palmer showcased his skill and composure, leaving a significant impact on the game. His performance highlighted his potential and contributed positively to Chelsea’s efforts, earning recognition for his influence and decision-making on the field.
Cole Palmer was a key figure in Chelsea's Premier League clash with Newcastle United. Early on, he nearly gave Chelsea the lead with a well-taken finish, but the goal was disallowed due to a narrow offside decision.

Despite that setback, Palmer made an impact by delivering a brilliant pass to Pedro Neto, who then assisted Nicolas Jackson for the opener.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe had cautioned his team about Palmer’s quality before the game, but they struggled to contain his influence.
Commentating for Sky Sports, Alan Smith was left in awe of Palmer’s pass, calling it one of the “passes of the season,” even though it didn’t result in an official assist.
Although Paul Merson had noted Palmer’s quiet display against Liverpool the previous weekend, the young attacker was heavily involved against Newcastle.
With seven goals this season and 25 last term, Palmer continues to demonstrate his versatility and complete attacking skill set since joining Chelsea from Manchester City.
Enzo Maresca will undoubtedly hope to keep Palmer fit throughout the season as Chelsea prepares to face Newcastle again in a Carabao Cup encounter at St James’ Park.
