Cole Palmer misses penalty for first time ever as FPL managers say 'end is near'

Cole Palmer has missed a penalty for the first time ever.

It was unlucky No.13 for the [Chelsea](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/chelsea-fc) star as he fired his spot kick low and hard to his right but Leicester City's keeper Mads Hermansen got down to bat the ball away.

"Cole Palmer's penalty wasn't one from someone with a lot of confidence," Mark Schwarzer said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "He went for power over real placement and the goalkeeper does so, so well. It wasn't his best penalty."

While Sky Sports' Clinton Morrison added: "Great save! That is how it's going for Palmer at the moment. Hermansen was on his line and no one was encroaching. VAR won't get involved with this."

It's the first time he's been denied from the spot - and FPL managers have declared that 'the end is near'.

"Cole Palmer just missed a penalty kick," one fan shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, as he added the famous Homer Simpson "end is near" gif.

"This Cole Palmer penalty miss," a second said adding an image of The Undertaker after his Wrestlemania undefeated streak came to an end. While a third posted: "I guess 17 degrees is too hot for Mr Cold Palmer..."

"Cole Palmer has gone Ice Cold. And not in the good way," a fourth shared. And another added: "Palmer penalty save - you can't write it! In a week where Salah scores 2... That's just brutal if you captained him, feel for you!"
