Chelsea Stars Palmer and Willian Set Guinness Records

Chelsea players Cole Palmer and Estevao Willian have made history by being recognized in the Guinness (NGX: GUINNESS) World Records Football Edition 2027 for their outstanding achievements in football. The recognition took place at Chelsea’s Cobham Training Centre, where Palmer was awarded for recording the fastest perfect hat-trick from kick-off in Premier League history.

This record was achieved during a match against Everton at Stamford Bridge in April 2024, where Palmer scored three different types of goals within the first 29 minutes. He netted his first goal with his left foot in the 13th minute, followed by a header five minutes later, and completed the hat-trick with a right-footed finish.

This achievement broke the previous record of 38 minutes, which had stood since February 1995. Palmer also scored a penalty in the second half, contributing to Chelsea's 6-0 victory.

Estevao Willian was recognized as the youngest winner of the Bola de Ouro award in Brazilian football.
