"First-half goals from Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto ended the Blues' four-match winless streak in all competitions, while lifting them to fourth place in the Premier League. Enzo Maresca's side opened the scoring in the 21st minute, with Palmer latching onto Gusto's precise throughball and sweeping past Jordan Pickford. Thierno Barry and Jack Grealish went close to equalising for Everton, but the hosts doubled their lead when Gusto slotted home Pedro Neto's cutback just before half-time."
"Moyes has now failed to win any of his 21 Premier League away games against Chelsea (D7 L14), against no other side has he faced more often away from home in the competition without ever winning (also 21 games against Liverpool). Everton, meanwhile, are also without victory in any of their last 31 league trips to Stamford Bridge (D13 L18), dating back to 1994, while they have failed to score in 28 different league meetings with the Blues."
Chelsea secured a 2-0 home victory over Everton thanks to first-half goals from Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto, halting a four-match winless run. Palmer opened the scoring in the 21st minute after latching onto Gusto's throughball, and Gusto doubled the lead from Pedro Neto's cutback just before half-time. Everton created chances — Thierno Barry and Jack Grealish went close, Grealish volleyed wide from inside the six-yard box, and Iliman Ndiaye hit the post — but failed to convert. Chelsea generated 2.07 xG from 17 attempts while Everton had 11 shots but tested the goalkeeper only twice.
