Cole Palmer has become the fifth player to get back-to-back 10 ratings on SofaScore, joining Neymar, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann. The Englishman is the first to get perfect scores in consecutive Premier League games, though.SofaScore, the statistical platform, introduced the player ratings in the 2015-16 season, and Palmer created history on Thursday night. His hat-trick earned him a perfect score on the platform just days after getting one in the 2-2 draw against Burnley.
The back-to-back perfect scores saw the Chelsea star become the first player in the Premier League to achieve the feat. However, four other players have done it in the top-5 European leagues.Neymar was the first when he got perfect scores in August 2017 while playing for PSG against Guingamp and Toulouse. He had an assist and a goal in the first game and followed it up with two goals and two assists in the 6-0 win over Toulouse.
Antoine Griezmann also managed the feat after his impressive display for Atletico Madrid in February 2018. He scored a hat trick and assisted once against Sevilla before scoring all four goals in the win over Leganes three days later.Lionel Messi joined Griezmann in December 2018. He scored a brace and assisted once in the 4-0 win over Espanyol before bagging a hat-trick and two assists in the 5-0 win over Levante.Kylian Mbappe is the last player to achieve this feat when he led PSG to victories over Lorient and Clermont. He got a hat-trick of assists and a brace against Lorient and followed it up with a hat-trick and an assist against Clermont in April 2022.
