"They showed us high quality and totally deserved the win''.

Ronald Koeman says Everton were taught a lesson by Chelsea in their 5-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Two goals from Eden Hazard and one apiece from Marcos Alonso, Diego Costa and Pedro saw the Toffees humbled after what has been their best ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Koeman started with a 5-3-2 formation, which he altered after the first two goals were conceded, but it failed to stem the tide as Chelsea dominated throughout.
After the match, Koeman told the club's official website: "They showed us a big lesson in every aspect of football.
"They showed us high quality and totally deserved [the win]."
While the former Southampton and Feyenoord manager admitted his side were second best, he was not prepared for such a heavy loss.
"We need to accept it, it’s difficult and we are disappointed. I did not expect the difference we saw on the pitch."
Koeman conceded it was difficult to play against the Blues' 3-4-3 formation, which allows the front three players of Hazard, Costa and Pedro to interchange at will.
He added: "It’s a difficult system to play against. That made the movements of Hazard create a lot of problems in our defending. The way how they press and how they play aggressively was much better than what we showed."
Up next for Everton is a clash with Swansea on November 19 after the international break. Koeman would rather not have the delay.
"[The break] is a bad thing," he said. "The best thing would be to play tomorrow and to show a difference. We need to show a reaction in two weeks."
