• Palmer acknowledges 'I should have had five or six' despite record-breaking quadruple

  Cole Palmer said "I should have had five or six" goals, despite his history-making quadruple during Chelsea's victory over Brighton.

  The Blues forward became the first player to score four goals before half-time in a single Premier League game, as the hosts came from behind to prevail 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.

  Palmer took his tally for the season to six for Enzo Maresca's side, who climbed to third place and within a point of Manchester City and Arsenal.

  Although, the England man was a little disappointed not to add to his haul, having also hit the post, been denied by the offside flag, and sending a decent second-half opportunity wide.

  "I try and play every game the best I can," he told Match of the Day. "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, they pass the ball well. They play similar to us. Three points are what we needed, and that is what we got."

  Palmer also addressed comparisons made by former Arsenal and England forward Theo Walcott between him and ex-Gunner, Dennis Bergkamp.

  "I know he is a legend in the Premier League, but I didn't really watch him, I was too young," he added. "I have seen clips. He was a top player, so thank you, Theo!"

  Maresca hopes Palmer can maintain his impressive performance levels, while also revealing his belief that Chelsea are "ahead of my expectations" after stretching their winning streak to four matches.

  "I told [Cole] he could have scored two or three more," the Blues boss said. "He is a top player and just has to continue in the same way.

  "A very good win, we could have done better in some moments of the game, but overall, we deserved to win. 

  "The two goals we conceded can happen. The important thing is the team continues in the same way, creating many chances. We are happy.

  "I was more focused on the way the team progressed rather than results. We are ahead of my expectations in the way we want to play."

• Arteta lauds 'unbelievable' Arsenal mentality in Leicester win

  Mikel Arteta labelled his Arsenal side as "unbelievable" after the Gunners left it late to snatch all three points against Leicester City at the Emirates. 

  A dominant first-half display was rewarded with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, only for the visitors to turn the encounter on its head after the break. 

  James Justin's deflected header halved the deficit after the break, before the Foxes full-back struck a stunning volley that crashed in off the post. 

  But Arteta's side eventually prevailed in second-half stoppage time, with Wilfried Ndidi's own-goal and Kai Havertz's fortuitous effort sealing a memorable victory. 

  Despite squandering their early advantage, the Gunners head coach showered praise on his players as preparations now turn to the Champions League on Tuesday. 

  "I'm very happy with the performance," he said. "I think we were unbelievable today. We deserved to win with many more goals.

  "Starting the second half the way we did, conceding the first goal made things harder and then, with the equaliser, the team showed unbelievable character to keep pushing, creating chance after chance.

  "We suffered more than we should have, but this is football. [I am] really happy with the team."

  Arsenal were made to work for their victory after registering 36 shots, their joint-most on record (since 2003-04) in a single Premier League game. 

  But Ndidi’s own goal was the 16th 90th-minute winning own-goal scored in Premier League history, with Arsenal benefitting from five of these - more than any other side.

  However, the Gunners' display showed the winning mentality instilled in them since Arteta's appointment, something he highlighted as a standout from the victory. 

  "We felt it should have been many more, and it wasn't, and suddenly it is 2-2, but we had to deal with a very good team with difficult circumstances, and we stayed really composed," he said. 

  "We had a lot of clarity, understanding what we had to do, and we kept doing what we had to do, and we earned the right to win it."

• Leeds cut gap to automatic promotion spots with comfortable win over Coventry

  Leeds United closed the gap to second place to just two points in the Championship, following a 3-0 victory over out-of-form Coventry City at Elland Road.

  Wilfried Gnonto got the game off to a good start for Daniel Farke's side, expertly turning home a cross just inside the box with a first-time finish to open the scoring.

  Last season's losing play-off finalists wrapped up a comfortable victory in the second half with goals from Jayden Bogle - his first as a Leeds player - and Joel Piroe, who has now scored three in four as a substitute.

  The victory sees Leeds climb to fourth, significantly taking the opportunity to cut the gap to the automatic promotion places with both West Brom and Sunderland losing.

  Coventry, meanwhile, have lost four and drawn one of their last five matches in all competitions. They are fourth-bottom, with just goal difference separating them from the relegation zone.

  Second-placed Sunderland missed the chance to go top as they were beaten 2-1 away to Watford.

  Regis Le Bris' side went a goal down in the first half to a Festy Ebosele volley before equalising shortly after half-time through Wilson Isidor. They were unable to push on for a winner, with Tom Dele-Bashiru scoring a late penalty to win it for the hosts.

  The win leaves Watford in seventh place in the Championship, outside the play-offs on goal difference, while Sunderland stay second.

  Managerless Cardiff City lost their fifth straight match in all competitions and are still searching for their first league win of the season after being thumped 4-1 away to Hull City.

  The Bluebirds initially went a goal up in the first half through Callum Robinson, which was just their second league goal of the season.

  They could only hold the lead for four minutes, before Bachir Belloumi equalised for the hosts. He grabbed a brace 10 minutes before half-time and Hull never looked back.

  Two second-half goals ensured another miserable afternoon for Cardiff, who remain bottom of the Championship with just one point after seven matches. Hull are up to 12th.
