Chelsea forward Cole Palmer has been rewarded with his Guinness World Records certificate after scoring the fastest ever perfect hat-trick in the Premier League, according to a post on X by TNT Sports on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

Palmer completed the incredible feat in the 6-0 win at Stamford Bridge against Everton on April 15, 2024. In just 29 minutes, he scored three goals to set a new record for the fastest perfect hat-trick from kick-off in the competition.

He opened the scoring in the 13th minute, before adding a second with a header five minutes later. He completed the treble in the 29th minute.

Palmer completed his hat-trick with an expertly timed finish over Jordan Pickford who had ventured out of his area. He scored with his right foot to complete his perfect hat-trick, which means he scored with his left foot, right foot and head.

The feat broke the previous record for the fastest perfect hat-trick in the Premier League. Tommy Johnson, who used to play for Aston Villa, scored a perfect hat-trick in 38 minutes against Wimbledon in 1995.

By completing his treble in 29 minutes, Palmer broke the record by a matter of nine minutes. His performance helped Chelsea dominate the game in the first half.

Palmer’s four goal display against Everton highlighted his influence in his first full season with the club.

Palmer’s achievement has been recognised with the presentation of his Guinness World Records certificate. He still holds the record for the fastest perfect hat-trick from kick-off in the Premier League, scoring in just 29 minutes against Everton.
