Cole Palmer set a new mark for most Premier League goals in a calendar year for Chelsea after giving his team the lead against Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

The England international wriggled away from three defenders before calmly slotting past Bernd Leno for his 26th league goal of 2024. It ended up being in vain, however, as Fulham came back to win 2-1 via a last-gasp Rodrigo Muniz goal.

That took him past Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s previous record of 25 set in 2001. Hasselbaink was on hand to witness Palmer’s goal, working as a pundit for Amazon Prime Video’s coverage of the west London derby.

“The boy deserves it,” Hasselbaink said. “This has been standing for a long, long time, and it’s time now that it is gone. There is no better player than Palmer to do that.”

Palmer has been integral in Chelsea’s excellent form under Enzo Maresca in the 2024-25 season. He now has 12 goals and six assists this term as the team sit second in the league, behind only Liverpool.

The former Manchester City forward has 51 goal contributions in 51 appearances in all competitions since making his move to the Blues in August 2023.

Mohamed Salah has said he is hopeful that Liverpool can lift the Premier League title this season, saying this campaign “feels different.”

Liverpool boss Arne Slot is in his first season in charge at Anfield, but he could equal the feat of Jürgen Klopp by delivering a league title to the club after moving seven points clear with a 3-1 win over Leicester City on Thursday.

Salah, who has repeatedly said he could leave at the end of the season amid the final year of his contact, called for his Liverpool teammates to keep pushing for the title.

“The most important thing is the team winning — hopefully we win the Premier League,” he told Amazon Prime. “It is great, but we focus on each game and hopefully we carry on like that.

“[This year] it feels different, but the most important thing is we need to stay humble. This one is very special, hopefully we win the Premier League and for this club it is something I dream of.”

Salah netted the third goal against Leicester, his 100th home goal since joining the club in 2017.

Liverpool were denied the title on several occasions by Pep Guardiola’s imperious Manchester City sides in recent seasons. However, City have been way off their best this term, with Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Arsenal their biggest rivals for the title at present.

Regarding his future at Liverpool, the Egypt forward sidestepped a question asking for any update to his contract situation. As it stands, he will be free from Jan. 1 to talk to other clubs about a free transfer in the summer.
