Chelsea 4-0 Everton
16 April 2024, Stamford Bridge
In a dominant display at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea cruised to a 4-0 victory over Everton on Tuesday evening, thanks to a remarkable four-goal haul from young striker Callum Palmer.
The Blues entered the match in dire need of points after a disappointing season filled with inconsistency. However, they looked a transformed side from the outset, pressing high and controlling possession.
Palmer opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a clinical finish from inside the area. The 21-year-old doubled his tally shortly before halftime, capitalizing on a defensive mistake from Everton.
After the break, Chelsea continued to dominate and Palmer completed his hat-trick in the 65th minute, netting a stunning free-kick from the edge of the box. The young striker capped off his incredible performance with a fourth goal in the 80th minute, securing the emphatic victory for the Blues.
Everton, on the other hand, put up a valiant fight but were ultimately outclassed by a superior Chelsea side. The Toffees had a number of chances but failed to convert, while their defense was unable to cope with Palmer's brilliance.
The result sees Chelsea climb to sixth in the Premier League standings, while Everton remain 16th and in danger of relegation. Palmer's four goals have made him an instant hero at Stamford Bridge, and the Blues will hope his performance can inspire them to a strong finish to the season.
