Trevoh Chalobah 7/10
Vital touch on cross just before break that took ball away from waiting Beto in middle and prevented Everton pulling goal back. Solid as a rock alongside Silva at back for Chelsea. Reuters

Conor Gallagher 8/10
Combined well with Caicedo in middle of park with Chelsea duo seeming to benefit from Enzo Fernandez’s absence. Fine performance from captain who also stepped in to sort row between teammates over secShow more
Noni Madueke 8/10
Lively game with his pace causing Everton regular problems. Amazing scenes in second-half when both he and Jackson felt they should have taken a penalty that was eventually taken and scored by Palmer.Show more
Cole Palmer 9/10
Perfect hat-trick in opening 30 minutes; first a lovely side-foot finish with left foot, second a close-range header, the third a lob over Pickford with right. Scored fifth from penalty spot and now hShow more
Mykhailo Mudryk 7/10
Kept ball in play before providing ball into middle that would lead to Palmer’s scoring his second. Booked for clipping heels and ending run of Coleman late in first half. Side-footed good chance straShow more
Nicolas Jackson 8/10

Jordan Pickford 4/10
EVERTON RATINGS: Nightmare evening for England keeper. Conceded six, should have done better than parrying straight to Palmer for second goal while disastrous pass out from back gifted Chelsea attackeShow more
Seamus Coleman 4/10
Everton's right side of Young and Coleman, with combined age of 73, combined well to provide early chance to Beto but Chelsea were finding gaps behind him at back and was hooked at break. AP
James Tarkowski 4/10
Volleyed cross across box just before break that almost saw Everton pull in back to 3-1 but gave Jackson too much time and space to make it 4-0 not long after. Booked for cynical foul on Jackson. SaidShow more
Jarrad Branthwaite 4/10
Nutmegged by Palmer in run up to Chelsea’s opener and struggled generally in dreadful first-half defensive performance from team. Headed into side netting at other end of pitch from corner just after Show more
Vitalii Mykolenko 5/10
Ukrainian left-back was up against dangerous opponent in Madueke and found going tough at times. Better after half-time, though. AFP
Ashley Young 5/10
Nice cross in 35th minute that Beto headed home from offside position but booked for clear foul on Palmer moments later. Must be up there among the worst nights of his 700-game career. Reuters
James Garner 4/10
Booked for clumsy tackle on Palmer with Everton chasing Chelsea shadows in first half. One of three players taken off at break after dreadful first half for Merseysiders. AFP
Amadou Onana 4/10

Abdoulaye Doucoure 5/10
Everton’s top-scorer with six goals never got close to adding to that total here. Fouled Palmer that led to same player scoring fifth from spot. AP
Beto 5/10
Turned early chance over bar from close range at 0-0 that probably would have counted despite lineman’s flag. Thought he had pulled one back with first-half header but was well offside. Only Everton pShow more
