Cole Palmer has made history in the Premier League by becoming the most reliable penalty taker, maintaining a perfect record of 12 successful penalties from 12 attempts. His achievement was highlighted during Chelsea's dramatic 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur, where he scored two penalties.
This record surpasses the previous best held by Yaya Toure, who converted all 11 of his penalty attempts for Manchester City. Palmer expressed his pride in breaking the record but emphasized his focus on contributing to Chelsea’s success.
Before Palmer, Toure’s record had stood unbeaten since his Premier League debut in 2010. Other players like Ivan Toney came close but fell short when he missed a penalty in 2023.
Palmer's perfect penalty record places him ahead of challengers like Raul Jimenez, Bryan Mbeumo, and Chris Wood, who have also maintained flawless records, but with fewer attempts.
Beyond his penalty success, Palmer’s performance for Chelsea is also remarkable. His two goals against Spurs pushed his total to 50 combined goals and assists in just 48 Premier League appearances for the club, placing him among the fastest players to reach this milestone.
Palmer’s achievement has sparked debate about whether he could be the best penalty taker in Premier League history, joining legends like Matt Le Tissier and Danny Murphy, who also boast impressive conversion rates.
