Chelsea have hit relegation-threatened Everton for six at Stamford Bridge.
It’s been a disastrous performance from Everton but an outstanding one for Chelsea in contrast. And what a way to cap it off by having boyhood Blues fan Alfie Gilchrist fire home his first ever Premier League goal.
The 20-year-old centre-back certainly didn’t look like a defender with the way he dispatched his opportunity. With 90 minutes on the clock, Gilchrist latched onto a rebound from Jordan Pickford at the far post and he thundered home his volley.
