Moses shines as Chelsea cruise past Everton

Super Eagles forward, Victor Moses was in action for almost the entire duration as two first-half goals from Cesc Fabregas and Alvaro Morata earned Chelsea a comfortable 2-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Premier League champions opened the scoring through Fabregas’ smart finish in the 27th minute before summer signing Morata headed home his second Premier League goal of the season five minutes before half-time.

Moses had been fouled on the edge of the area, but Moss allowed play to continue and Cesar Azpilicueta crossed for Morata to head in unmarked.

Fabregas returned to the starting line-up at the first opportunity following suspension, the playmaker displaced Tiemoue Bakayoko and was the catalyst for Chelsea’s performance.

The result means Chelsea go into the international break on the back of two straight victories, after recovering from the disappointment of their opening-day defeat at home to Burnley.

Meanwhile, Moses is expected to join Nigeria’s camp ahead of Friday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Uyo.
