Cole Palmer hit a first-half hat-trick in an impressive display by the Blues, who held off a fightback from the leagues bottom side to continue their push towards Champions League qualification.Aside from two defeats against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Rosenior has made an impressive start in charge of Chelsea since replacing Enzo Maresca, having won seven of nine games, and the Blues boss said he is excited over the potential of his young squad.He told BBC Sport: It cant really get any better can it? In terms of the Premier League. When you come into a new job at a big club, you want to make a good start. I think weve done that, I think weve got much more to go which is very exciting in terms of the potential of the team. As long as we keep improving while were winning, thatll make me a very happy manager.First half was everything you want in an away performance at this level. Our pressing was very good, our patterns with the ball was outstanding. We put ourselves in a really really strong position. Second half, we want more. Our standards dropped. Its difficult because the conditions werent great. It was a difficult day for both teams in terms of the pitch, in terms of the rain. Overall, very very happy with an away three points.Happy Palmer stars with hat-trickPalmer grabbed the headlines for all the right reasons after recent speculation over his future as he returned to Chelseas starting XI with a hat-trick inside 38 minutes which saw him become the first player ever to score three trebles in the first half in the Premier League.Obviously delighted for Cole, Rosenior added. Theres been a lot of talk around him, about how happy he is he looked happy today with his three goals. But we could have scored more in the first half and we need to keep improving.Cole loves playing football. I love watching. Not just him the whole team. When theyre in the mood and when they do the right thing and their mentality is right, theyre an outstanding group of players.And Cole is definitely someone that we want on the pitch more often than not. And hopefully he can stay fit now. Topics: Chelsea F.C.
