Cole Palmer is tied as the top scorer in the Premier League with 20
After its agonizing Champions League elimination on Wednesday, City – tired, perhaps, in legs and mind – is facing the prospect of its FA Cup defence being ruined in the semi-final on Saturday by a player the club sold in the off-season and who has gone on to become arguably English soccer’s player of the season.
On the back of a hat trick against Manchester United two weeks ago and four goals against Everton on Monday, Palmer is tied as the top scorer in the Premier League with 20. That’s the same number as City’s Erling Haaland, who not long ago was being talked up as a generational goal-scoring talent. “I don’t judge the player when we sign but I expected the best,” Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said. “It doesn’t surprise us. He’s a player who’s had the capacity to score goals when he was playing at Manchester City. He has the capacity to score easily.
He has scored some of the best goals in the Premier League this season, such as a solo strike at Luton that included him rolling the ball with the sole of his boot around the goalkeeper and pausing to see a defender slide past him before slotting home. His opener against Everton was a thing of beauty, too. He has also converted nine of nine from the penalty spot this season.
