“Every teams in EPL will suffer from HIM” “He make us suffer alot” – Brighton coach blames Chelsea star for 4-2 Brighton defeat
Chelsea hosted Brighton and Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge earlier today in an attempt to win the Premier League at home.
Everyone was impressed by the Londoners’ performance, but none more so than Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, who spoke with Chelsea’s boss directly and singled out Cole Palmer as a standout performer.
Cole Palmer, according to Fabian Hurzeler, was the best player Brighton had to deal with this season. He claims that stopping him will require a team effort because he cannot be stopped one on one.
He acknowledges that his side made errors and plans to examine the situation, possibly altering his strategy.
Manager of Brighton, Fabian Hurzeler:
“It was not our day and in the end I think we deserved to lose. There are not many players like Cole Palmer in the Premier League, he is special.”

Georginio Rutter scored the game’s first goal in the seventh minute, giving the Blues a slow start to the contest.
Cole Palmer, though, tied the score for the home team in the 21st minute and scored again just seven minutes later from the penalty spot.
In the 31st minute, Palmer finished his hat-trick; however, in the 34th minute, Carlos Baleba gave the Seagulls a goal back. In the 41st minute, Palmer scored his fourth goal for Chelsea, leading Enzo Maresca’s team to a 4-2 lead at the interval.
