For the first time in the jersey of Chelsea, Cole Palmer shoots a penalty. This ends a historical series.
A historical penalty series in the Premier League was torn on Sunday. Chelsea-Star Cole Palmer for the first time in his career in the 22nd minute in the 1-0 home win against Leicester City.
Previously, he had always met in the English Oberhaus at twelve attempts. He was one of only three professionals in the history of the league who competed at least ten penalty jets and had a 100 percent success rate.
Now only Fulhams Raul Jimenez (10 out of 10) and the former Manchester City leader Yaya Touré (11 out of 11) remain.
Palmer shoots 911
Palmer had targeted the right lower corner against Leicester from the perspective of the protected. But keeper Mads Hermansen sensed it and parried the shot.
In addition to the twelve penalty goals in the league, Palmer had always converted for the national team and thus even scored 15 goals in series.
Thanks to Marc Cucurella, Chelsea did not cost the false shot. The Spaniard shot 1-0 in the 60th minute. Chelsea, as fourth, has the best chance of the Champions League.
Palmer has never had such a negative run at Chelsea
Now the blues have to hope that playmaker Palmer will find his top form. He has been without a goal or assist for six games in the league. He never had such a negative run in the Chelsea jersey.
The English international had scored 27 goals and 15 templates last season and was initially unstoppable even in the current season. Despite the small crisis, 14 goals and six templates are available.
