Baba Rahman

Ghana defender Baba Rahman was not part of Chelsea team which got thrashed 3-1 at Everton on Saturday in the English Premier League.

The left-back was excluded from Jose Mourinho troops who made it to Goodison Park as the Portuguese trainer stuck to Cesar as left-back and Ivanovic on the right in his starting line-up.

Going into the match, there were talks that Rahman was going to be handed his debut after playing on the left and Cesar shifted to his traditional right-back role.

Naismith scored twice in quick succession after coming on for the injured Muhamed Besic, and while Nemanja Matic's fine strike halved the deficit before half-time.

Chelsea were unable to find an equaliser before the former Rangers man completed his treble eight minutes from time.

Roberto Martinez started John Stones despite the summer saga of Chelsea's failed efforts to sign him, and the young England defender responded with a superb display.
