Chelsea's Cole Palmer has been directly involved in 53 goals (36 goals, 17 assists) in his 50 Premier League starts for Chelsea - only Erling Haaland (64 for Manchester City) and Andrew Cole (57 for Newcastle United) have ever registered more goals and assists in their first 50 starts in the competition for one club.

That song has become all too rare at Chelsea over the past two years, but James picked a captain’s moment to remind everyone why they sing it at Stamford Bridge. This was a game of two halves but the point of demarcation was not the half-time break — it was the 56th minute.
