Chelsea 5-0 Everton: Blues cruise at Stamford Bridge to go top of the Premier League

Chelsea moved to the top of the Premier League after thrashing Ronald Koeman’s Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Goals from Eden Hazard, Marcos Alonso and Diego Costa gave the Blues a commanding half time before second half strikes from Hazard and Pedro sealed a comprehensive victory.

The result sees Chelsea move to the top of the table following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough earlier in the day.

Antonio Conte’s side have clawed back the Citizens’ eight point advantage since the end of September, thanks to a run of five consecutive league victories, which followed their disappointing defeat away to Arsenal.
