and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Palmer became the first player in Premier League history to score four first-half goals in a thrilling 4-2 win over Albion at Stamford Bridge. His hat-trick goal was a inch perfect free-kick into the top corner.
The former Manchester City man, 22, arguably should have scored six against a Brighton team which was all at sea defensively in the first-half.
He also had chances to add to his tally after the break.

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, he said: "I should have had five or six.
"When I missed the first chance I was upset but with the way they played and their high line I felt we'd get more chances.
"The manager set up a good game plan, we knew how to attack them with first-time passes in behind.
"Brighton are a good team, pass the ball well. They play similar to us. Three points is what we needed and that is what we got.
"I try and play every game the best I can."
