CHELSEA fans were left baffled after they spotted Cole Palmer running away from Stamford Bridge.
A video shared on social media showed the Blues star wearing a hoodie and shorts running through a crowd of fans while holding a phone to his ear and another in his hand.
Fans were seen running after Palmer in the bizarre clip.
The 22-year-old starred during today's 1-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge.
However, it is unclear when the video was taken.
Regardless, fans were left baffled by his appearance in the video by the club stadium.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: "What’s going on?"
A second said: "New meme template dropped."
A third added: "Lmao! The team bus left him behind."
Another said: "What’s he doing?"
Palmer continued his rotten run of form on the pitch against the Toffees, earning the WORST Chelsea rating in SunSport's player ratings for the game.
Nicolas Jackson's strike was enough to earn Chelsea the three points, but Palmer put in a particularly poor display by his usually lofty standards.
Another blank today means Palmer has now failed to score in his last 17 games, while Jackson's goal ended his 13-game streak.
Manager Enzo Maresca had said before the match that the England international's problem was "mental" and not tactical.
He said: "For sure it’s a mental thing, it’s not tactical or technical.
"Cole is still the player who scored 14 goals in 20 games. The style is the same, the manager is the same, the club is the same. Nothing has changed around Cole. It’s just mentally in this moment.
“You can see he’s a little bit worried because he wants to help the team. You can see he’s struggling a bit on that.
"But he showed how happy he was after Fulham. It’s just a matter [of whether] we can win games. For sure he’s going to score goals.
“If you go back game by game, he had at least every game one or two chances, so it’s not about how the team is playing."
The early kick-off win had moved the club up to fourth in the Premier League, although a 3-0 win for Newcastle over Ipswich later on saw them dropped back down to fifth.

The answer is so simple! Pep Guardiola must have told Palmer not to score any more goals for Chelsea in order for City to accept him into their 1st team! He must be in constant contact with Pep probably! Sometimes if it's not yours, it's not yours...[Crylaugh]
there's no better way to say this....bt ur head is nt correctly

He has done well this season …. Despite his Dry Spell of goals and assists… this Chelsea team is still lacking in many aspect. Every player is doing too much Then I noticed he may need to do like Enzo Since he got a girlfriend…. His form has dipped Im not saying his gf is the problem But I mean …. He was doing well until the girl came into the picture Maybe he will start to do well again if the picture is retaken lols 😂

This is the Palmer they tried bringing closer to the shinning glory of the Golden boy Lamine Yamal, for those who don't know Lamine Yamal, the new football owner, just tune in for Kings Cup handover tonight as the Golden boy will be schooling cry babies Real Madrid with his team mates. Never ever compare Yamal with call cold worms that even Everton is not scared of.
Did you forget to take your medicine?
