CHELSEA THRASH EVERTON 6-0 AT STAMFORD BRIDGE – Cole Palmer stars with four goals
Cole Palmer hit a perfect first-half hat-trick and then struck a penalty as Chelsea hammered Everton 6-0 to move to within three points of the European qualifying spots.
It was a sensational display from the 21-year-old, who made it back-to-back trebles at his home ground in style, with a silky opener followed by a poacher’s second and a clinical lob with his weaker right foot after Jordan Pickford’s gift of a pass to him.
It was the fastest Premier League hat-trick by a Chelsea player and means he’s also scored in seven games in a row at this stadium – another Chelsea record.
Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson were squabbling over who would take the second-half spot-kick but Palmer marched in to take the ball and tuck away his 20th Premier League goal of the season.
The heavy defeat leaves Everton languishing down at 16th in the top table on 27 points, two places and two points above the relegation zone!
