COLE PALMER left fans in hysterics by scowling and shutting down a reporter when asked about Chelsea’s title aspirations.
The 22-year-old scored and got an assist in their 3-0 win over Aston Villa yesterday.
After his man of the match display, Palmer was asked by Match of the Day commentator Mark Scott what part of the performance he was most pleased about.
In typical fashion, he bluntly replied: “Three points.”
The victory saw Chelsea go level with Arsenal in the table on 25 points after seven wins, four draws and two losses.
And the London rivals’ goal difference is also identical, having both scored 26 goals and conceded 14.
They are nine points off leaders Liverpool, which led to Palmer being asked why Chelsea cannot be seen as title contenders.
He gave the BBC reporter a dirty look and said: “Nah, it is too early, man.”
Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: “Palmer is one of a kind.”
Another added: “The face he made lol. Love him. Real non PR guy.”

A third commented: “Palmer’s interviews are a thing of beauty.”
More reacted: “A man of few words. Love the kid.”
The same question was put to Blues boss Enzo Maresca, who seemed far happier to expand on why they do not see themselves in the running.
He said: “We are not ready and the reason why is because there are teams like Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal that for different things are better than us.”
Chelsea moved to joint-second in the Premier League table with an resounding 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
Goals from Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer saw the Blues make light work of Villa at Stamford Bridge.
