But what followed minutes later was simply sublime as Palmer produced a stunning through ball to Pedro Neto.
Neto was too fast for Fabian Schar and squared it to Nicolas Jackson for the opener.
But it was Palmer who took the plaudits for his stunning pass as one fan said: “Build a statue for Cole Palmer man. I’ve seen enough.”
Another added: “Cole Palmer is out of this world.”
One hailed: “I cannot speak on Cole Palmer what a player.”
Another gushed: “That pass from Cole Palmer, my word.”
Despite Chelsea’s celebrations, they were pegged back before the break as Alexander Isak levelled for Newcastle.
