Frank Lampard’s team got the better of Everton 4-0 at home in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Mason Mount and Pedro scored for the home team in the first half, and Willian and Olivier Giroud found the net once each in the opening minutes of the second period at Stamford Bridge in London.
It was Gilmour’s first start in the Premier League, and the 18-year-old midfielder has expressed his delight on Twitter at his full debut in the league for the Blues.
The Scotland Under-21 international is also pleased with Chelsea’s win against Everton.
