PALMER AND THREE CHELSEA TEAMMATES RECEIVE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS CERTIFICATES

Four Chelsea players have received Guinness World Records certificates recognising their achievements in football.

Cole Palmer, Estevão Willian, Hannah Hampton and Manaka Matsukubo were presented with their certificates and copies of the Football Edition 2027 at Chelsea’s Cobham Training Centre.

Adjudicator Will Munford visited the training ground to celebrate their inclusion in the publication’s Class of ’27.

Palmer was honoured for scoring the fastest Premier League perfect hat-trick from kick-off.

He achieved the record against Everton on April 15, 2024, scoring with his left foot, head and right foot inside the opening 29 minutes of Chelsea’s 6-0 victory.

The performance came during a standout debut season in which he recorded 22 league goals and ten assists, earning the Premier League Young Player of the Season award.

Estevão received recognition as the youngest winner of Brazil’s Bola de Ouro award.

The winger was 17 years and 229 days old when he won the honour following his breakthrough season with Palmeiras, joining a list of winners that includes Ronaldinho and Neymar.

Goalkeeper Hampton and Japanese player Matsukubo also received certificates during the presentation.
