Chelsea have now suffered four consecutive defeats with Everton coasting to a 3-0 triumph at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday evening.
Liam Rosenior's team were embarrassed on Merseyside following a dismal display from the west London outfit. Beto netted twice for the Toffees whilst Iliman Ndiaye contributed a third after the break to heap further anguish on the away side.

Robert Sanchez, 3 - Escaped serious trouble 10 minutes in. Dawdled on the ball and Beto nearly robbed him of possession for what would have been a guaranteed goal. Perhaps being overly critical but seemed slightly sluggish coming off his line for Beto's strike
Malo Gusto, 5 - A vital intervention 14 minutes in to thwart what appeared a goal-bound effort from James Garner. Withdrawn at the interval, reports Football London.

Wesley Fofana, 4 - Surrendered possession after five minutes in what proved a thoroughly nervous opening to proceedings. Considering Fofana's recent form, that represented the worst possible beginning. For Beto's goal, Fofana proved far too hesitant. The Frenchman failed to anticipate it entirely and that proved costly for Chelsea.
Jorrel Hato, 6 - Entrusted at centre-back once more. He formed part of a back four that genuinely toiled during the opening period particularly, though Hato bore the least responsibility.
Marc Cucurella, 6 - The majority of Everton's attacks developed down their left flank, meaning we saw little of Cucurella in a defensive capacity. Appeared dangerous going forward but couldn't make a significant mark on proceedings.
Romeo Lavia, 5 - Only his second Premier League start of the campaign. Distributed the ball effectively but offered limited protection defensively.
Moises Caicedo, 5 - Such a careless beginning to the contest. His distribution was completely off target. Improved as the match progressed but this was far from peak Caicedo. The Ecuadorian switched to right-back after the interval where he performed adequately.
Cole Palmer, 6 - During what proved a truly sluggish opening 45 minutes from Chelsea, Palmer was amongst the few providing any genuine threat in the final third. On the whole, it felt like a constructive display from Palmer though he received little assistance from his teammates.
Enzo Fernandez, 5 - Enjoyed an excellent opportunity to find the net on 36 minutes but watched his close-range effort get thwarted by Jordan Pickford. Fernandez couldn't influence proceedings in the spaces between midfield and attack.
Pedro Neto, 5 - Endured minimal success on the left flank during the opening 45 minutes, prompting a switch to the opposite wing after the break.
Joao Pedro, 5 - Chelsea found it extremely difficult to involve the Brazilian striker in their play, particularly before half-time. Facing two robust centre-halves, Joao Pedro was afforded precious little encouragement.
Alejandro Garnacho (on for Gusto 46'), 5 - Introduced at the interval in an attempt to provide Chelsea with an additional attacking outlet. 5 Andrey Santos (on for Lavia 57') - Lost possession carelessly for the second goal.
Estevao Willian (on for Neto 70'), 6 - Lively after his introduction. Maybe ought to have been introduced sooner.
Tosin Adarabioyo (on for Caicedo 78'), N/A - Rather puzzling why he was brought on with the score at 3-0.

Liam Delap (on for Joao Pedro 78'), N/A - Insufficient time to influence proceedings.
