According to a post by TNT Sports on X on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Chelsea forward Cole Palmer has officially received his Guinness World Records certificate for scoring the fastest perfect hat-trick in Premier League history.

Palmer achieved the feat during Chelsea’s 6-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge on April 15, 2024. He scored three times within 29 minutes of the match, setting a record for the fastest perfect hat-trick from kick-off in the competition.

The England international opened his account in the 13th minute with a left-footed finish. Five minutes later, he doubled Chelsea’s advantage with a header before completing his hat-trick in the 29th minute.

His third goal came after he spotted Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford away from his line and lifted the ball over him with his right foot. The finish completed a perfect hat-trick, which requires a player to score with his left foot, right foot and head.

Palmer’s achievement broke the previous Premier League record held by Tommy Johnson. The former Aston Villa forward had scored a perfect hat-trick against Wimbledon in 38 minutes in 1995.

By completing his treble in 29 minutes, Palmer improved on that record by nine minutes. His performance also helped Chelsea establish complete control over the encounter before the half-time interval.

Palmer’s four-goal performance against Everton further underlined his influence during his first full season at Chelsea.

The presentation of the Guinness World Records certificate formally recognises a remarkable achievement that remains part of Premier League history. Palmer’s 29-minute performance against Everton continues to stand as the competition’s fastest perfect hat-trick from kick-off.
