Chelsea Return to Top Four with 2-0 Home Win over Everton
Cole Palmer scored on his first start in four months and Malo Gusto added a goal as Chelsea ended a four-match winless run to secure a top-four Premier League spot.
- On Dec 13, Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to return to the Premier League top four, lifting the club closer to the leaders and ahead of local rivals.
- After four winless matches, Chelsea needed a win, and Cole Palmer, England forward, returned this month after missing most of the season with a groin injury.
- The goals combined individual runs and precise passing, with Palmer driving through Everton's defence to score past Jordan Pickford and Malo Gusto converting a low Pedro Neto cross before half-time.
- Everton pushed late but missed key chances, with Iliman Ndiaye hitting the post as their comeback bid faltered, and Malo Gusto told Sky Sports, `It was important for us to come back, with a clean sheet it was even better`.
- The win handed Chelsea three valuable points after midweek setbacks, and Enzo Maresca managed Cole Palmer's minutes by withdrawing him before the hour due to his interrupted season.
