Palmer or Haaland? Gusto picks best player as Golden Boot race hots up

Chelsea FC

On Monday, Palmer gave an impressive performance by scoring four goals in a match against Everton. Within 29 minutes, he achieved a 'perfect' hat-trick. This helped him to match the 20 league goals of the star player from Manchester City, putting him at the top of the scoring charts. Palmer also made a hat-trick against Manchester United a few weeks ago in April.

When questioned about his preferred teammate between Haaland and Palmer, Gusto responded confidently by saying that he would choose Cole without a doubt.

Our prime objective is assisting Palmer in achieving the highest score. He possesses unique skills, and we are ecstatic to have such a player in our squad.

Cole Palmer has been outstanding throughout the entire season.

The Chelsea team, coached by Mauricio Pochettino, achieved their best performance of the season with a significant victory. Nicolar Jackson, the striker, and Alfie Gilchrist, who was brought in as a substitute, both contributed goals to the game.

This puts Chelsea back in the running for a spot in Europe, as they are currently only three points behind Newcastle and Manchester United. Additionally, they have an extra game to play compared to their competitors.

The outcome of the game has provided Chelsea with a significant boost in morale, which is much required as they take on Manchester City, led by Haaland, in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday.

Gusto strongly believes that Chelsea has unresolved matters at the stadium. This comes after their heart-breaking loss to Liverpool during the Carabao Cup final this past February.

He said, "It's our chance for payback. The last final we played at Wembley was tough for us, but we have another opportunity to come out on top. To achieve that, we need to enhance our performance, keep working hard, and give it our all to win. The FA Cup is the only trophy left for us to claim."

This week's game has given us a boost of confidence and now we need to keep working hard and have a clear mind for the next game, aiming for a victory. Our team is thrilled to have achieved a 6-0 victory at the Bridge, and it has given us even more confidence leading up to Saturday's game.
