Palmer performed well in several areas
Palmer, 21, joined from Manchester City in a £42.5million deadline day deal and some supporters feel he is the perfect Mason Mount replacement.
Mount joined Manchester United and some feel Palmer is already better than the 24-year-old.
One Chelsea fan reacted to his performance at Spurs saying: “Cole Palmer is the man we thought Mason Mount would be. He’s a massive upgrade from both Mount and Havertz.”
Another added: “I’ve never fallen in love this quickly with a new signing. Cole Palmer is absolutely class. Thank You Man City ”
A third wrote: “Cole Palmer has done miracles for me, that guy is magic. Particularly compared to Havertz and Mount.”
And another commented: “Palmer for Mount might be the greatest move we’ve ever made as a club.”
Palmer was heavily involved as Chelsea broke down a stubborn nine-man Tottenham side to secure a 4-1 win.
He assisted Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick goal and completed 41 passes.

Co-commentator Gary Neville also praised the youngster for his composure as he helped Chelsea settle into the game after conceding early to Dejan Kulusevski.
Palmer was heavily involved in the match with 71 touches – only two players managed more, Reece James and Alex Disasi.
While his heat map shows that he spent most of his time camped in Spurs’ half, putting pressure on the likes of Yves Bissouma and Destiny Udogie, who was sent off.
