Palmer's Penalty Streak Ends in Chelsea Loss

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer saw his perfect penalty record end as his shot was saved by Leicester City's goalkeeper Mads Hermansen during their Premier League match. This penalty miss ended Palmer's streak of scoring 12 consecutive Premier League penalties, a record that placed him above legends like Yaya Toure and Dimitar Berbatov. Despite this setback, Palmer has been a leading player for Chelsea, amassing 14 goals and six assists this season, although he has been in a goal drought recently, failing to score in his last eight matches. Manager Enzo Maresca remains supportive, noting Palmer's overall solid performance despite recent challenges. The miss was characterized as a result of Palmer's current lack of confidence, with Hermansen's save described as brilliant by former players and commentators.
