Cole Palmer exactly as good as Andy Johnson and James Beattie
Michael Owen never did it but Andy Johnson and James Beattie did. Chelsea hero Cole Palmer is the 49th different player with a 20-goal Premier League season.
Could Palmer be the lowest-finishing Golden Boot winner ever? It’s difficult to say. But he has finally matched Danny Ings for 20-goal Premier League seasons.
