Cole Palmer has officially outscored Liverpool in the Premier League since the start of March.

The England international has been a revelation since joining Chelsea for €47 million from Manchester City last summer and Mauricio Pochettino would arguably have been sacked by now if Palmer was not purchased on Transfer Deadline Day.

The 21-year-old scored four goals during Chelsea’s 6-0 rout of Everton on Monday night to draw level with Erling Haaland at the top of the Premier League goal-scorer charts this campaign.

The Englishman has now scored hat-tricks in back-to-back games at Stamford Bridge after netting three times during the Blues’ memorable 4-3 win over Manchester United on 4 April.

Cole Palmer is outsourcing Liverpool

Palmer has bagged 10 Premier League goals in six games since the start of March. By comparison, Liverpool have netted nine league goals as a team since March began.

Darwin Nunez scored a 99th minute winner against Nottingham Forest on 2 March, before Alexis Mac Allister netted from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.

The Reds then beat Brighton 2-1 (goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah) and Sheffield United 3-1 (goals from Nunez, Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo). A 2-2 away draw against Man Utd was next (goals from Diaz and Salah), while they failed to score in a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

As a result, Liverpool have scored nine goals in their last six Premier League matches - dating back to the start of March.

Palmer, on the other hand, has 10 goals in his six league appearances since the beginning of March.

Liverpool aren’t the only club that Palmer has outscored either. In fact, the Chelsea man has scored more goals in the Premier League than Nottingham Forest (eight), Burnley (eight), Sheffield United (eight), Wolves (six), Crystal Palace (six), Everton (four) Brighton (three) since the start of March. He is also level on goals with Brentford (10).
