Cole Palmer added two more strikes to his season's tally to overtake Jude Bellingham in terms of goal involvements.
The Chelsea midfielder was on top form once again as he fired in a classy double in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
He now has 30 goal involvements in all competitions this season - one more than Real Madrid maestro Bellingham.
In total, Palmer has chipped in with 18 goals and 12 assists in all competitions from 38 matches.
And he could have had more assists to his name if Raheem Sterling had tucked away his late attempt after being picked out by the 21-year-old.
Palmer also created Chelsea history against the Clarets having become the youngest player to register at least 20 Premier League goal involvements in his debut campaign - and just the fifth overall.
And Blues fans believe this proves that Tim Sherwood was right in his assessment of the England international and his Chelsea teammates.
In an interview with Palmer earlier this month, Sherwood told the ex-Manchester City midfielder that the team should be built around him - insisting, 'All you need is some good players to play with.'
While Palmer was praised for how he handled the awkward praise, Chelsea fans believe the disappointing display proves Sherwood was correct in the squad not being good enough.
Taking to X, one supporter posted: "Sherwood was absolutely spot on with what he said to Palmer the other week."
Another said: "Tim Sherwood was getting attacked for stating the truth in that Palmer interview. He was right."
A third added: "Sherwood was right in what he said to Palmer."
This fan then remarked: "Tim Sherwood is right, Palmer is playing with s*** players and an horrendous manager."
And one messaged: "He said it at the wrong place and wrong time, but there's a lot of truth to the statement sadly."
Meanwhile this user simply stated: "He was absolutely spot on."

He’s getting the goals but his presence on the field as regards general play is not so WOW …. it’s just his goals for a struggling Chelsea and an incompetent manager ….. in a proper Chelsea team PALMER WONT HAVE A JERSEY AND POCHETINO WONT BE AN EMPLOYEE @ west London .
Says who about Palmer? With proper manager, Palmer will play in any team 11 in the world His all round play is superb This boy is the star of the teamjust give him the ball and watch the magic happen

Palmer plays as a CAM and sometimes a ST Bellingham only plays as a CM of course Palmer is going to have more goals but it doesn’t change the fact that Chelsea are in 11th in the Prem and Real Madrid are 1st in LaLiga
if penalty is not a goal than Madrid can't be at the 1st place bro. just think nice than being jealous or judging player because of the team. let the player shine. all players come in front of posts and miss but he scored other players take penalty but they missed. lot of teams win by penalty that means is a goal bro stop talking like you don't know football bro.

You're talking nonsense. Bellingham plays cm for Madrid. Mediocre of the century, just waffling rubbish. A player carrying a struggling team and the one in a good team. You should be ashamed of yourself for making this nonsense comment

jealous people. subtract penalty goals from CR7 goals and see. is penalty goals not goals?
Ronaldo has scored more headers than penalties and pre 2014 Ronaldo was terrible at penalties

Remember Bellingham has only one penalty goal to his name and 50% of Palmer goals are penalties, if you can't see the difference visit a doctor
Oh they actually saying this 🤣

Bellingham doesn't take penalties for Real Madrid. Take away penalty goals and Jude is comfortably ahead of Palmer.
But I saw him missed a penalty the other day 🥱
