CHELSEA 6-0 EVERTON - MATCH REPORT

Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea to a thumping 6-0 victory, as his four-goal haul dealt a huge blow to the survival hopes of a beleaguered Everton at Stamford Bridge.

It did not take long for the forward to find his feet, netted twice in the opening 18 minutes, firstly a beautiful curling effort from outside the box, before tucking in a close-range rebound.

The England international completed his hat-trick before the half hour mark with another glorious finish after a huge error by Jordan Pickford, while Nicolas Jackson made it 4-0 before the break.

The tempo dropped a touch after the break, unsurprisingly so, but Chelsea still got a fifth when Palmer converted from the spot after a foul on Noni Madueke by James Tarkowski.

There was drama before that penalty was scored though, with Jackson and Noni Madueke fighting over who would take it, only for captain Conor Gallagher to take command of the situation.

Alfie Gilchrist then completed the rout in the 90th minute, leaving Sean Dyche and Everton licking their wounds after a costly defeat.

A BAD NIGHT FOR SEAN DYCHE

That 6-0 defeat is the biggest loss of his managerial career

CHELSEA'S FORM KEEPS GETTING BETTER

The Blues are now unbeaten in six, improve their goal difference and move to within three points of a place in the top six. Could they still make Europe?

FULL-TIME: CHELSEA 6-0 EVERTON

Everton hit for six, Chelsea flying. Four for Palmer as the hosts enjoy their best night under Mauricio Pochettino, while the Toffees endure an embarrassing mauling

Another involvement from Petrovic, as he displays some good reactions to beat clear a reasonably powerful Beto strike that took a deflection

The Chelsea goalkeeper has been a spectator, but he comes off his line to punch clear an Ashley Young cross.

Another defensive injury for Dyche, who is counting the cost of this game. Ben Godfrey replaces Nathan Patterson, who limps off

GOAL! CHELSEA 6-0 EVERTON (Alfie Gilchrist)

What a moment for the youngster! Off the bench, and on the scoresheet! The Chelsea fan born and bred nets his first goal for the club, thumping home the rebound after Chilwell's shot is saved, before jumping into the crowd in an impassioned celebration

Alfie Gilchrist is on for his seventh Chelsea appearance, replacing Gusto, while Jackson is replaced by Deivid Washington

They have had 12 shots in this game - eight, yes EIGHT, have been on target. Remarkable accuracy from the Blues tonight

BOTH TEAMS PLAYING OUT THE REMAINING MINUTES

Chelsea have settled for five, by the looks of it, and Everton have as well. It's a case of going through the motions in the final moments

Ben Chilwell is back from injury, while Cesare Casadei is also on, as Mudryk and Palmer are withdrawn, the latter of whom deservedly gets a standing ovation

MYKOLENKO SHOT DEFLECTS FOR A CORNER

The left-back has not seen too much of the ball this evening, but he has a go from distance and it flicks wide

MUDRYK SHOOTS STRAIGHT AT PICKFORD

Jackson drifts past three or four tackles with ease before feeding Mudryk on the left, but his first time effort lacks power and is straight at Pickford

Madueke has been excellent and gets withdrawn after what looks like a bout of cramp, replaced by Carney Chukwuemeka

A wayward finish from the striker, who is put through on goal in the area, but slices wide of the near post
