Robert Sanchez (7/10):
Just about did enough to prevent Barry from sweeping the ball into an open goal as he showed good athleticism to get a touch on the ball. Is definitely having a better season than last.
Malo Gusto (8/10):
The marauding full-back was in a very advanced position when he threaded a well-timed pass through to Palmer, and he did the rest to make it 1-0. The Frenchman took his goal well from six yards out in what is an impressive season for him.
Wesley Fofana (7/10):
Made some good blocks and clearances at the back in the first half, and didn't really give Everton many scraps to cling on to.
Trevoh Chalobah (7/10):
The centre-back executed some superb recovery tackles when Everton looked threatening. He and Fofana are, arguably, Chelsea's best centre-back pairing right now.
Marc Cucurella (6/10):
The Spain international has been one of Chelsea's best players this season but was outshone by his full-back partner Gusto. Didn't do much wrong, mind.
