This remarkable feat has sparked discussions about whether Manchester City may rue the decision to sell him to Chelsea.
Palmer's swift rise to prominence has elevated his status and raised questions about the wisdom of City's choice.
The 21-year old could have benefited from a full season at the Etihad, and while Jeremy Doku has been a good signing, Palmer may have had a similar impact.
In the end, the £42.5 million Chelsea paid to sign him appears to have been a bargain.
