Chelsea’s talismanic Cole Palmer finally put an end to an unwanted streak of 242 days without a non-penalty goal in the Premier League as the Blues drew 2–2 against Brentford on Saturday.
Palmer missed Chelsea’s last two games after picking up a groin injury in the warmup against West Ham United on August 22. The England international was named to the starting lineup, but was a surprise scratch from the starting XI as the Blues went on to secure their first victory of the season.
