"You'd have got good odds on him winning the golden boot."
That is what former Arsenal striker Alan Smith said of Chelsea's Cole Palmer on Sky Sports after the midfielder struck four goals in his side's 6-0 thrashing over Everton.
Palmer was simply sensational, netting a hat-trick inside 29 minutes and adding his 20th Premier League goal of the season in the second half to move him level with Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.
It is all the more remarkable considering before Palmer moved from Manchester City to Chelsea this summer the 21-year-old had never scored a league goal.
