Chelsea fans treated Cole Palmer to a standing ovation as he called the shots in Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Everton, suggesting the Blues' stand-out player of the last two seasons is getting back to his best after an injury absence, Reuters reported. 

Palmer showed the vision Chelsea have lacked in recent games, gesticulating to Wesley Fofana how to pass to Malo Gusto and Gusto's quick layoff allowed Palmer to dart into the Everton box and roll the ball past Jordan Pickford in the 21st minute.

With England coach Thomas Tuchel watching from the stands, it was Palmer's name that was cheered most by the home fans when the teams were announced before kick off, and they rose to their feet to applaud him off when he was substituted after 58 minutes as coach Enzo Maresca continued to ease his return to action, according to Reuters.
