THE NOTEBOOK: Chelsea continue to invest in youth while Ligue 1 boss watches on as Mauricio Pochettino's side demolish Everton at Stamford Bridge

Cole Palmer's exceptional maiden season at Chelsea continued as the Blues comprehensively demolished Everton.

Mauricio Pochettino's side wasted little time seizing the initiative on Monday, and Palmer netted a quick-fire brace to give the Blues a comfortable lead.

A calamitous mistake from Jordan Pickford gifted Palmer his hat-trick before Nicolas Jackson made it four before half-time.

After a moment of dissent among the ranks Palmer put a cherry on top of the win from twelve yards to take his Premier League tally to 20 for the season before substitute Alfie Gilchrist completed the rout.
