Chelsea staged an impressive comeback to secure a dramatic 4-3 victory in the London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Spurs initially took a two-goal lead through Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, capitalizing on two errors from Marc Cucurella. However, Chelsea responded strongly, with Cole Palmer playing a pivotal role in their resurgence.

Jadon Sancho reduced the deficit with a sublime finish, and Palmer converted two penalties, sandwiching a strike from Enzo Fernandez, to secure the win. Heung-min Son's late goal offered little comfort for Tottenham. Palmer's two successful penalties brought his Premier League tally to 12 for Chelsea, setting a new record for the most penalties scored in the league by a player with a perfect 100% conversion rate.

He surpassed former Manchester City star Yaya Toure, who netted all 11 of his penalty attempts during his illustrious career at Manchester City.

The most Premier League penalties scored without ever missing:

Cole Palmer – 12

Yaya Toure – 11

Dimitar Berbatov – 9

Raúl Jiménez – 8

Ruben Neves – 8
