Cole Palmer achieved a Premier League record following his successful penalty conversion during the match at Tottenham. He now possesses the competition’s longest perfect conversion streak, having successfully scored all of his initial 12 spot-kicks. This achievement surpasses the previous perfect record held by former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, who converted 11 out of 11 penalties in the competition, a milestone reached nearly 11 years prior. Palmer has now exceeded this by one. Characteristically, Palmer executed the record-breaking penalty with a virtuoso touch, dinking the ball centrally while goalkeeper Fraser Forster anticipated a shot towards the corner. Demonstrating no apparent pressure in the crucial moment, Palmer lived up to his moniker, ‘Cold Palmer’.
