After the game against Liverpool on Sunday, Palmer spoke to Sky Sports and revealed that the goal drought hadn’t affected him emotionally. He dismissed concerns over his recent lack of goals, saying he remained unfazed despite going several months without scoring.

The Chelsea forward scored in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Liverpool, converting a stoppage-time penalty that handed the champions only their third league defeat of the season. This was Palmer’s first goal since January.

The England international brushed off the negative commentary on social media, addressing the criticism he faced during his goal drought with indifference.

“It gives me more fight and motivation to do more for myself and for the team, social media nowadays is full of idiots, trolls… I don’t care about that,” he said.

Palmer was asked about his recent struggle with goals, and he said,“No goals for months? I just felt normal. Obviously sh* happens, you know what I mean.” Palmer is still in search of his first silverware with the London club.
