Chelsea 6-0 Everton

[vincentgh2]

Cole Palmer hit a perfect first-half hat-trick and then struck a penalty as Chelsea hammered sorry Everton 6-0 on Monday Night Football to move to within three points of the European qualifying spots.

It was a sensational display from the 21-year-old, who made it back-to-back trebles at his home ground in style, with a silky opener followed by a poacher's second and a clinical lob with his weaker right foot after Jordan Pickford's gift of a pass to him.

It was the fastest Premier League hat-trick by a Chelsea player and means he's also scored in seven games in a row at this stadium - another Blues record. England assistant boss Steve Holland was watching on and the question will not be whether this young star goes to the Euros but where he starts in the England XI.

He certainly has the hunger for goals - Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson were squabbling over who would take the second-half spot-kick but Palmer marched in to take the ball and tuck away his 20th Premier League goal of the season. Jackson had to settle for his well-taken swivel and shot at the end of the first half.

Yes, I see that Chelsea have a great winning streak lately. But I wouldn't bet big here. I have often encountered the fact that some matches in the English league become negotiable. This is very bad for those who place bets. If I want a successful bid then I prefer 1xbet-et.com. Football in Ethiopia is a minimum of politics and a maximum of sport. The quality of play of local football players makes me very happy.
