In a dominating Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's midfielder Cole Palmer stole the show with an extraordinary display, notching up four goals in a resounding victory over Everton.
Palmer wasted no time leaving his mark, initiating the scoring in the 13th minute with a masterfully curled strike finding the bottom corner.
Demonstrating his finesse, he effortlessly maneuvered past Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite before executing a seamless one-two with teammate Nicolas Jackson.
Just five minutes later, Palmer further solidified Chelsea's lead by nodding in a rebound from Jackson's shot, deftly saved by Everton keeper Jordan Pickford.
The 21-year-old completed his hat-trick in spectacular fashion, intercepting a wayward pass from Pickford and lofting the ball over the England goalkeeper from an impressive 40 yards out.
Before the first half concluded, Jackson added to Everton's woes by volleying in a precise cut-back from Marc Cucurella. Palmer then capped off his remarkable performance by confidently converting a penalty in the 63rd minute, securing his fourth goal of the match.
In the dying moments, substitute Alfie Gilchrist etched his name on the scoresheet with his maiden goal for Chelsea from a tight angle, compounding Everton's humiliation as Chelsea cruised to a resounding 6-0 triumph.
This victory extends Chelsea's unbeaten streak in the Premier League to eight matches, positioning them just three points behind seventh-placed Manchester United, who currently hold the final European spot. Moreover, Chelsea holds a game in hand over their competitors.
Meanwhile, Everton entered this fixture amidst the backdrop of a two-point deduction for a second violation of Premier League financial regulations. Despite their efforts, they languish in 16th place, a mere two points clear of the relegation zone.
