One of his Chelsea teammates mocked Cole Palmer after scoring a hat-trick against Manchester United.
The 21-year-old scored three goals as Chelsea cruised to an impressive 4-3 win over United, with two of his goals coming after the 100th minute in a space of 82 seconds.
That sucker punch left United reeling and put Palmer in second place in the Golden Boot race with 16 goals, just two behind Erling Haaland.
However, an anonymous member of the Chelsea squad clearly has high standards and believes Palmer could do even more.
That’s because they wrote ‘shitty player’ on his match ball, as fans have pointed out.

Palmer posed in the locker room with three fingers raised and his match ball, which he keeps as usual for anyone who scores a hat-trick.
While other teammates had simply written his name in pen to adorn his memory, the rude message was at the center of the shot.
It will surely be ironic: Palmer has been a revelation since joining the Stamford Bridge team.
After arriving from Manchester City in a £40million summer move, he has gone from strength to strength.
He now has 21 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, which is actually two more contributions than Phil Foden, although eight of his goals have come from penalties.
Joe Cole has named him the ‘signing of the season’ in a glowing endorsement.
He told TNT Sports: “What’s even more remarkable is that the way he was talking to Jules, he’d just scored a goal in the last minute – it was like he’d just got off the couch, had his chocolate in his hand. and was ready to play. bed.
“He’s the coolest guy in the building,” Cole continued. ‘These fans love him. Since there are no experienced players, you look for someone who has something magical. Look at Jude Bellingham, he’s not 20 years old.

Joe Cole hailed him as the ‘signing of the season’ as he has 21 goals and 12 assists.
‘You feel the same way about Cole Palmer. From Manchester United’s perspective, at a crucial moment in the match, how can the best player on the field be allowed time to touch the area and hit it?
Even he must be thinking, “What is happening here? How did I get this time?” He has been extraordinary. I would say, signing of the season.
“He grabbed this team by the collar and said, ‘You guys are my team.’ I’m the one who’s going to drag this team down.’ He absolutely builds a team around him. He’s got the personality for it. No one thought they’d miss it. Cool as you want.’
Chelsea moved up to 10th place in the Premier League with the win, while Manchester United sit in sixth place, nine points behind Tottenham in fifth place.
