In a thrilling UEFA European Championship final last night, Chelsea FC's winger, Cole Palmer, etched his name into the history books by equalizing for his nation in the 73rd minute. His exquisite strike from the edge of the box secured a place for Chelsea in the record books, as they now boast the most different players scoring in Euro finals than any other club.

This achievement marks the third time a Chelsea player has found the back of the net in a Euro final. The first two strikes came during the memorable Euro 2012 final, when Spain faced Italy. Back then, it was Fernando Torres and Juan Mata who stole the show as Spain cruised to a 4-0 victory in Ukraine.

As substitutes in the second half, Torres and Mata made an immediate impact. Torres, receiving a beautiful through-ball from Barcelona midfielder Xavi, unleashed a first-time finish into the far corner, leaving the Italian goalkeeper helpless. Showing his versatility, Torres also turned into a provider, laying off a precise pass for Mata, who comfortably tapped the ball home from close range.

Now, Cole Palmer joins the illustrious company of Fernando Torres and Juan Mata, as Chelsea FC proudly leads the pack with the most different players scoring in UEFA Euro Championship finals. With his memorable goal, Palmer has created history for the London-based club.

This significant milestone further enhances Chelsea's reputation as a breeding ground for talented players who can shine at the highest stage of international football. The club's ability to produce players who can make a significant impact in crucial finals is a testament to the quality and development that takes place at Chelsea's training grounds.

As the UEFA Euro Championship unfolds, fans and pundits alike will surely be keeping a keen eye on Chelsea FC, wondering if another player from their ranks will add their name to the prestigious list of goal scorers in the finals.
