The Toffees visited Stamford Bridge in a thrilling encounter that saw them lose by 4 goals to nil. As a matter of fact, Chelsea put up a nearly faultless display against an Everton side that currently sits on 12th position.
Mason Mount opened the scoring after calmly controlling an inch-perfect pass from Pedro and hitting the ball ferociously to beat Pickford at his near post.
Shortly after, the provider became the scorer after Pedro received a lovely pass from Barkley and then slot in calmly.
Within just 5 minutes into the second half, Barkley supplied another pass, this time, to Willian who hit a venomous shot that saw Pickford beaten for the third time in the encounter.
A few minutes later, Willian became the supplier after pinging a perfect cross that saw Giroud seal the win with the fourth goal.

Perhaps the best performance of the season, certainly the best at home.
Are the second-string now the first-string? A Chelsea blueprint performance. A top four rival submits and now faces a Europa League fight. #CFC #CHEEVE
