Premier League Golden Boot: Cole Palmer, Erling Haaland and Ollie Watkins' remaining fixtures
Cole Palmer is now level with Erling Haaland in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot after his remarkable four-goal haul against Everton on Monday evening. Mauricio Pochettino's side defeated the Toffees 6-0 at Stamford Bridge, with Palmer an influential figure in the contest as he took his tally in the league to 20 goals for the season.
Scoring the opener after 13 minutes with a sublime curling effort after producing a wonderful piece of skill, five minutes later he doubled his and Chelsea's lead with a close-range header after Jordan Pickford could only palm the ball into his path. The 21-year-old was then to complete his treble in style as he lobbed England's No.1 from distance following a misplaced pass from the shot-stopper.
Palmer added a fourth from the penalty spot 19 minutes into the second half, before later receiving a standing ovation from all four stands at Stamford Bridge following a devastating performance. Looking like an outsider to claim the Golden Boot after his hat-trick against Manchester United two weeks ago, the attacker is now firmly in the race for the top honour as he competes against his former Man City teammate Haaland.
So who exactly do the likes of Haaland, Palmer and Ollie Watkins face in their remaining games of the 2023/24 season? football.london takes a look below.
