Chelsea player ratings vs Everton: Cole Palmer shines again! England star scores, Gusto dominates in Toffees win

Chelsea cruised to a comfortable victory over Everton, with several players delivering standout performances. Here's a breakdown of how each Chelsea player fared:

Robert Sanchez (7/10): Sanchez showed good athleticism, preventing Barry from turning the ball into an open net with a crucial touch. He's having a demonstrably better season than the last.

Malo Gusto (8/10): Gusto was a constant threat from right-back. His well-timed pass set up Palmer for the opening goal, and the Frenchman capped off his own impressive performance with a goal from six yards out.

Wesley Fofana (7/10): Fofana made crucial blocks and clearances in the first half, limiting Everton's opportunities.

Trevoh Chalobah (7/10): Chalobah made some excellent recovery tackles, thwarting several dangerous Everton attacks. He and Fofana are arguably Chelsea's strongest center-back pairing at the moment.

Marc Cucurella (6/10): While Cucurella has been one of Chelsea's most consistent performers this season, he was overshadowed by Gusto in this match. Still, he didn't make any significant errors.

Reece James (7/10): James wasn't quite as effective in midfield as he has been in recent games, but the Chelsea captain still worked tirelessly for the team.

Enzo Fernandez (6/10): Playing in a deeper role than usual seemed to limit Fernandez's impact on the game.

Cole Palmer (8/10): Palmer displayed great speed and finished well for Chelsea's first goal. The 23-year-old, who has been dealing with injury issues, was substituted after an hour in what was otherwise a successful outing.

Pedro Neto (7/10):
