Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino heaped praise on Cole Palmer after his four-goal performance against Everton.

The Blues won 6-0 on Monday night.

Pochettino said: "I never judge the player when we signed [him]. It's always you expect the best. It does not surprise us but of course he is a player that always had the capacity to score goals when he was playing at Manchester City.

"You were seeing he had the capacity to score easily, no? But in the way he adapts himself in the team and the club.

"The way he is performing, I think it's fantastic. Of course, he is not a top scorer, but he is behaving like a top scorer. He is showing that the club made the right decision finding him."
