But is was yet another outing that drew a blank from Palmer as his form continued to slump. Palmer, 22, has failed to score or assist in any of his last seven outings in all competitions. He looked dejected at full-time following the win over Southampton despite the big win.

Another added: "You got this, Cole!". The dip comes despite Palmer becoming one of the most impressive players in the Premier League. Since joining Chelsea from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, he has scored 39 goals and added 21 assists. Maresca has insisted that Palmer's slump is perfectly normal as players can not be on top form every game.

He said: "It is quite easy. All of them, they went through some bad moments, it is normal. "You cannot expect every season or game, it is normal. He is a human being. "He misses goals, he misses some things, it is about how you react I was telling him it’s OK.".
