Chelsea went to the top of the Premier League table for at least half a day after destroying Everton. A brace from Eden Hazard was backed up by Diego Costa, Marcos Alonso and Pedro. We've scoured through the best of the social media reaction and picked out the best tweets as Chelsea annihilate Everton 5-0.
It was a tense enough game until Hazard and Alonso blitzed Ronald Koeman's side - and a few fans
Hope for Man United fans that Jose Mourinho's teams CAN play stylish football. Albeit 11 months after he's been sacked.

Only left the room to grab a drink and missed both Chelsea goals 😂

Some people got a little excited when Costa netted the third, particularly after he was the victim of a brutal tackle from Seamus Coleman.
RIDE ME UP MY PIPE @ChelseaFC @diegocosta

That's now 14 Premier League goals without reply in five (well, 4.5) matches since Conte switched Chelsea to 3-4-3. Spectacular #cfc

Everton proved that imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it doesn't work at all.
Interesting 3-4-3 from Everton. Last week, I suggested matching Chelsea's system could be an effective way to beat them.

They tried to play 3-4-3 against Conte hahaha

Eden Hazard is now the best player in the world. Again. Until he doesn't score for six games.
Had to stand up and applaud that Hazard goal. Football at its most beautiful.

98 - Percentage of Chelsea fans amazed Eden Hazard is playing so well given he missed the whole of last season. Reappear.

And after all of that, we learned the simple way to win at football.
Chelsea were playing like the 'old Chelsea'. They went top of the table in some style (for the time being). Arsenal and/or Liverpool can knock them from that perch on Sunday. But it could take a big effort from the rest to make sure they aren't there come the end of May.
