"He’s Gone Cold!" – Chelsea Fans Frustrated as Cole Palmer Misses First-Ever Premier League Penalty
Chelsea fans express disappointment on social media after Cole Palmer's perfect penalty record ends with a miss against Leicester City.
Cole Palmer’s incredible penalty record in the Premier League came to an unexpected halt on Sunday when Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen pulled off a stunning save to deny him. Chelsea’s young star had been flawless from the spot, but his perfect run ended in their crucial league match against the Foxes.
The 22-year-old had a golden chance to extend his record to 13 successful penalties when Chelsea were awarded a spot-kick in the 19th minute. The referee pointed to the spot after Victor Kristiansen fouled Jadon Sancho inside the box, giving Palmer the opportunity to add to his streak.
However, the Leicester goalkeeper had other plans. Hermansen guessed the right way and produced a brilliant stop, preventing Palmer from maintaining his 100% penalty success rate in the league.
Before this miss, Palmer was leading the list of the best penalty takers in Premier League history. He had converted all 12 of his penalties, surpassing legends like Yaya Toure, who scored 11 out of 11, and Dimitar Berbatov, who had a perfect nine out of nine record.
Despite this setback, Palmer remains one of the most reliable penalty takers in recent years. However, his recent performances have been a cause for concern among Chelsea fans. After eight games without a goal, the attacking midfielder’s supporters are starting to lose patience.
After his missed penalty, Chelsea fans took to social media to express their disappointment. Some were shocked, while others were quick to criticize his current form.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:
“He’s gone COLD.”
Another posted:
“He’s so washed omg 💔.”
A different user added:
“He can’t even score pens these days.”
While another Chelsea supporter joked:
“He can’t dodge the memes now, ffs.”
Meanwhile, some fans sympathized with Palmer, suggesting he is just experiencing a rough patch.
“Jus going through a really rough patch😭,” one user commented.
Despite this unusual penalty miss, Palmer remains an important player for Chelsea as they aim for a top-four finish. He’ll be keen to rebound in their remaining bouts and show that this was only a small setback.
With Chelsea still fighting for a place in next season’s Champions League, Palmer’s performances in the final stretch of the season could be crucial. Fans will hope he regains his form soon and gets back to scoring goals for the Blues.
