The Toffees missed an early scoring opportunity when Seamus Coleman found Beto in the box, but the striker failed to hit the target. Cole Palmer opened the scoring for the Blues three minutes later, before doubling the lead in the 18th minute. Jordan Pickford’s mistake allowed Palmer to score his second goal.
Marc Cucurella set up Nicolas Jackson for the fourth goal before halftime. In the second half, a penalty was awarded to the Blues, and Palmer completed his hat-trick. Sean Dyche’s team failed to respond for the rest of the match.
Chelsea added a sixth goal in the 90th minute through substitute Alfie Gilchrist. The result leaves Everton just two points above the relegation zone, while Chelsea secured a convincing win.
