Chelsea won 6-0 to maintain its seven-game unbeaten streak on Monday as they smashed relegation-threatened Everton.

Midfield sensation, Cole Palmer, took centre stage as he registered three goals in the first half before adding an extra from the penalty spot.

It was a sensational display from the 21-year-old, who made 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.
