"Cole Palmer scored his first Premier League goal in three months as Chelsea broke the deadlock against Everton with Enzo Maresca's side looking to get back to winning ways. The England international, who has only recently returned to the fold a groin problem and then a broken toe, struck in the 21st minute of the match at Stamford Bridge to inflict further misery on the Toffees, who had earlier lost in-form midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, playing against his former club, to injury."
"It was the perfect start for Maresca's men, who are without a win in their last four in all competitions and looking to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat suffered at the hands of Atalanta in the Champions League in Bergamo on Tuesday. For Everton, who came into the game full of confidence after a run of four Premier League wins in their last five fixtures, the early setback proved a bad omen."
Cole Palmer returned from a groin problem and a broken toe to score in the 21st minute, giving Chelsea the lead after a neat pass from Malo Gusto. Palmer beat Jordan Pickford at his near post to open the scoring, and Gusto doubled the advantage in first-half stoppage time to put Chelsea in a commanding position. Chelsea sought a response after a recent Champions League defeat and a four-match winless run in all competitions. Everton arrived on the back of strong Premier League form but suffered an early setback and an injury to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Team news noted several players sidelined through various injuries and Palmerâs return to the starting XI alongside recalled teammates.
