1) The penalty master


Palmer’s penalty against Brighton means he has now scored all 10 he has taken from 12 yards out in his career.

There is only one other player with a better record in the history of the Premier League.

Manchester City’s Yaya Toure also had a 100% record from the spot, but he scored 11 in a row.

If Palmer scores his next penalty, he will equal Toure’s record, and that could well happen over the coming days and weeks.
