Christian Atsu left in the stands as Chelsea slaughter Everton
6-3 in Premier League clash

Everton manager Roberto Martinez was forced to
leave out Ghana winger Christian Atsu from his
side as Chelsea demolished them 6-3 in the English
Premier League in Saturday's late kick-off.

Everton could not field the 2014 Ghana World Cup
star due to a contract clause Chelsea had with
Everton on his loan move.

Atsu could have come up against the Blues just
over three weeks after leaving them to sign for
Everton on loan but had to watch the game from the
stands.

The West London giants made a short trip to the
Merseyside to face Everton at the Goodison Park
and showed their superior form by scoring twice in
the opening five minutes of the game.

Spanish forward Diego Costa and Branislav Ivanovic
put Chelsea 2-0 ahead before Seamus Coleman also
added the third after the Toffees had pulled a
goal back.

Nemanja Matic and Ramirez increased the tally
before Costa registered his first brace of the
Premier League. Samuel Eto'o came off the bench to
score in the last moments of the game.

Atsu is expected to fly to Accra to join the Ghana
squad for the upcoming 2015 AFCON qualifying
double-header against Uganda and Togo.
