Cole Palmer Ends Goal Drought in Chelsea's 3-1 Victory Over Liverpool London, May 4, 2025 - Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer broke his 18-game goal drought with a stoppage-time penalty, sealing a 3-1 win against Premier League champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. The victory boosted Chelsea's hopes of securing a top-five finish and Champions League qualification. Palmer was instrumental, contributing to all three goals, including an assist for Enzo Fernandez's early opener and sparking a bizarre own-goal by Liverpool's Jarell Quansah. Despite Virgil van Dijk pulling one back for Liverpool, Palmer's composure from the penalty spot ensured Chelsea's fourth consecutive win, leveling them with fourth-placed Newcastle on points. Manager Enzo Maresca praised Palmer's impact, while former players lauded his growing influence, with some comparing him to Chelsea legends.
