Gilchrist Scores Maiden Chelsea Goal

Toffees Lodge Formal Appeal Against Points Deduction

LONDON, April 15, 2024 – Chelsea put on a dominant display to thrash Everton 6-0 at Stamford Bridge on Monday night, with Cole Palmer bagging a brace in a scintillating performance.

The Toffees, who are already struggling with a points deduction for breaching financial regulations, endured a torrid evening as Palmer ran riot for the Blues.

The England youth international opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a stunning solo effort, weaving his way through the Everton defense before firing home.

Palmer doubled Chelsea's advantage 20 minutes later with a well-taken header from a Hakim Ziyech cross.

Academy product Harvey Gilchrist marked his first-team debut with a goal in the 90th minute, sending the Stamford Bridge crowd into raptures.

Meanwhile, Everton have lodged a formal appeal against their second points deduction for breaching financial regulations.

The Merseyside club were initially deducted six points in February but have now been hit with a further nine-point penalty, leaving them in the Premier League relegation zone.

Everton claim they have been unfairly punished and are confident their appeal will be successful.
