Chelsea is showing a great game at the end of the English Premier League. Especially Cole Palmer. Chelsea defeated Everton 6-0 with the great skill of England’s 21-year-old midfielder. Of which Palmer scored four goals alone. At the same time, Manchester City star Araling Haaland’s golden boot of this season has been threatened.
