Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, a midfielder, scored four goals on Monday, including a hat trick in the opening half-hour, as his team crushed Everton 6-0 to keep up their pursuit for a European position while keeping the visitors just above the relegation zone. The 21-year-old Palmer highlighted his England credentials with a trademark header, left foot, and right foot triple before adding a penalty kick in the second half as Chelsea went on the rampage. Chelsea, with games remaining against all of the clubs above them, is still in ninth place with 47 points, although Nicolas Jackson and substitute Alfie Gilchrist were both on target.
Pochettino, Chelsea Manager Says That Palmer Has Been A Tremendous Talent
“Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, stated that Palmer was a tremendous talent when we signed him.” “He has adjusted himself and is doing well. He is doing wonderful. From the beginning, the influence on the squad was incredible.” It was a depressing evening for Sean Dyche’s guests, though, as the crushing loss drops Everton to 16th position on 27—two spots and two points above the relegation zone—while they are appealing the Premier League’s second-ever point deduction this season. “A horrid night, miles away from where we want to be,” Dyche added. “The hard yards, simple tackling, basic principles – all out the window, and it was a massive reminder of where we are.”
After ten minutes, Everton got the first real opportunity, but Beto blasted it over from point-blank range, and things went south.
