Gary Neville left with egg on his face as comments about Cole Palmer's £42.5m signing by Chelsea resurface - after his stunning four-goal haul in the Blues' emphatic win over Everton

Gary Neville has been left with egg on his face after comments he made about Cole Palmer's signing by Chelsea have resurfaced, following his latest startling performance.

The 21-year-old joined his former Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland atop the Premier League goalscoring charts with a four-haul to help demolish Everton on Monday night.

Palmer was one of 12 players to arrive at the club for a fee in a 'mad' summer window and Neville - speaking back in September - did not expect his signing to be anything special.
