Chelsea came out on top in a nine-goal thriller at Everton to move to
the summit of the Premier League as Manchester City suffered a shock
defeat at home to Stoke and Manchester United dropped points at Burnley.
Chelsea demonstrated the full extent of their attacking power in the 6-3 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.
The win, in which Diego Costa opened and rounded off the scoring, made it three in three in the Premier League for the Blues.
Jose Mourinho's side got off to a flying start, with strikes from
Costa and Branislav Ivanovic putting them two up after three minutes.
Kevin Mirallas pulled one back on the stroke of half-time, before a
crazy period of five goals in 11 second-half minutes as Chelsea pulled
clear only to be pegged back.
Seamus Coleman's unfortunate own goal after 67 minutes made it 3-1, only for Steven Naismith to finish neatly two minutes later.
Nemanja Matic's low strike had Chelsea 4-2 up in the 74th minute, but
two minutes after that Samuel Eto'o, on for his Everton debut off the
bench, headed home his side's third against his old club.
Ramires stabbed Chelsea's fifth past Tim Howard a minute later, and
Costa finally put the result beyond doubt in the 90th minute, rounding
Tim Howard to score.
