Alan Shearer names the Chelsea player who was superb VS Everton: It’s not Gilmour

Premier League all-time leading scorer Alan Shearer thinks Olivier Giroud was “superb” during Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Everton on Sunday afternoon. Mason Mount’s superb turn and shot from the edge of the penalty area put the home side in front on 12 minutes. Pedro doubled the Blues’ advantage on 21 minutes. Six minutes after half-time, Willian cracked in Chelsea’s third from distance, before Olivier Giroud made it 4-0 three minutes later. Whilst much of the praise from the Everton game has gone Billy Gilmour's way, Shearer was appreciative of a fantastic centre-forward display from Giroud on his latest start for the Blues. "He led the line superbly well," Shearer said on Match of the Day 2. "The two Everton centre-backs never got near him at all. "It helps when the stand four or five yards off you as well. His link-up play was fantastic as well and he continually brought other players into the game. "He was too strong for both centre-backs. They just stood off of him and he was flicking balls everywhere. He gave those two defenders a torrid time. He got the goal he deserved. He was absolutely fantastic. He led the line with such aggression and he was superb."  Source: Football.london Join us on Telegram!
