In a Premier League match, Chelsea thrashed Everton 6-0 at Stamford Bridge with a masterful display. With an incredible four goals, Cole Palmer stole the show and helped the Blues defeat the struggling Toffees with ease.

Chelsea:

Chelsea's season has been up and down thus far, but with eight games remaining, the Blues may still guarantee a berth in Europe for the following year. They are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games, having only lost one of their previous 11 games overall (W6 D4). However, they did surrender points in their most recent match, a 2-2 draw with bottom-place Sheffield United. Despite this, they have an excellent home record against Everton, having gone undefeated in 28 Premier League meetings (W15 D3) since a 1-0 loss in November 1994.

Everton:

A win would take Everton to 30 points and complete a league double against Chelsea for the first time since 1978–79. As of right now, Everton is only two points clear of Luton Town in the relegation zone. After going 13 games without a victory, they defeated Burnley, another team fighting for relegation, 1-0 last time out. The Toffees have won their previous two league away games, but their last away victory dates back to December of last year.

Just before the half, Nicolas Jackson increased Chelsea's lead by volleying in a cross for a fourth.

Second Half: Palmer's Penalty and Gilchrist's Debut Goal

Palmer's clinical finishing from the spot was evident. Alfie Gilchrist, a substitute, ended a remarkable evening for Chelsea by adding to Everton's suffering in the ninetieth minute with his team's first goal.
