LunagisthubChelsea Beats Everton 2-0: Cole Palmer’s Return Sparks Blues to Victory
Chelsea has beaten Everton 2-0 in the Premier League, thanks to a brilliant performance from Cole Palmer, who returned from injury to score the opening goal. The win lifts Chelsea back into the top four, ending a four-game winless run in all competitions .
Palmer, who had been out for two months with a groin problem and a fractured toe, made his first start since September in the goalless draw at Bournemouth last weekend. He broke the deadlock against Everton in the 21st minute, beating Jordan Pickford at the near post with a fine finish .
Malo Gusto played a crucial role in the win, providing the assist for Palmer’s goal and scoring the second goal in first-half stoppage time. The win was a testament to Chelsea’s counter-attacking prowess, as they capitalized on Everton’s possession-based approach .
Everton dominated possession but failed to create clear-cut chances, with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez making a crucial save from Jack Grealish. The Toffees had a chance to reduce the deficit when Carlos Alcaraz’s cross found Grealish unmarked at the back post, but he headed wide .
The win is a significant boost for Chelsea, who have been struggling to find form in recent weeks. Palmer’s return and Gusto’s contributions were key factors in the victory, which moves Chelsea back into the top four. Everton, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance, particularly their inability to capitalize on their possession advantage.
