# Everton 0-3 Chelsea – Player Ratings

A hugely impressive second-half performance saw Chelsea beat Everton 3-0 and take another vital step towards the Premier League title.

Chelsea started slowly in the first-half, much like against Southampton, despite Eden Hazard’s early opener last Tuesday and as a result, the Blues once again went into the break level.

However, a rousing team talk from Antonio Conte seemed to do the trick and midway through the second-half, Pedro curled in a spectacular 25-yard strike to rival that of Nemanja Matic’s last weekend.

The Spaniard’s goal acted as a catalyst for two further goals from Gary Cahill and Willian.  First Cahill prodded in his sixth Premier League goal of the season, and ninth in all competitions. Willian then finished off a lovely flowing move with a simple tap in.

Chelsea are now just nine points away from the Premier League title, and with an FA Cup final to come on the 27th of May, Conte could become just the second Chelsea manager to win the domestic double.

Here are our match ratings from the win.
