Chelsea’s 5-0 slaughtering of Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday is the finest performance in Premier League history.

That’s the opinion BBC commentator John Motson who believes Antonio Conte’s side produced the best football he’s ever seen in England.

Antonio Conte’s side briefly went top of the table after battering Ronald Koeman’s side and the Dutchman was full of praise for his opponents’ 3-4-3 system after the game.

The Italian’s side have scored 16 goals and kept five clean sheets since Conte switched Chelsea’s formation and Motson believes Saturday’s win is the finest performance he’s seen in the Premier League era.

‘This was the best 90 minute performance I have ever seen in the Premier League,’ said Motson.



‘I put it above anything I saw from Arsenal when they were at their best, I put it above anything I saw from Manchester United because this was football on another planet.

‘Chelsea were just out of this world.

‘If Conte is working on the training ground four or five days a week, producing football like that [then] I’m not going to look any further for the champions.’
