What Chelsea Did in 58th Minute Spoke Volumes as Everton Star Upstaged
Cole Palmer scored to break the deadlock and was substituted in the 58th minute, highlighting his impact as Chelsea outperformed Everton's Jack Grealish, says match report.
- On Saturday, Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, maintaining a 31-year unbeaten home record as Cole Palmer opened scoring in the 21st minute and was substituted in the 58th for Andrey Santos.
- Palmer's groin problem has limited him to six appearances and no full 90-minute outings since September, and Chelsea are monitoring his condition after opting not to take him to Italy for Tuesday's trip to Atalanta amid a four-game winless run.
- A superb slide-rule pass from Malo Gusto created Palmer's opening, with Gusto drifting into midfield and earning an 8.8 rating for his assist before scoring Chelsea's second just before half-time.
- The win lifted Chelsea into the Premier League's top four, with Palmer's influence helping them control the contest while Jack Grealish was left on the fringes.
- Chelsea will continue to monitor Cole Palmer's groin while avoiding immediate talk of surgery, as Enzo Maresca hopes Palmer won't have to play through sporadic pain this season with Thomas Tuchel watching closely.
