Entering the game full of excitement with the goal of earning the next 3 points, Chelsea did not think they would be conceded so quickly by host Everton.
Having scored an early goal, host Everton played with confidence, while on the opposite side, Chelsea also pressed forward to find an equalizer, but their good opportunities were missed one by one by Willian or Abraham.
Entering the second half, the home team continued to play confidently. Although they could not dominate Chelsea, their situations on the ball were always full of danger, and one of them resulted in a goal.
In the 49th minute, taking advantage of the mistake of the Chelsea central defender duo, Calvert-Lewin was present at the right time to score a dangerous shot to defeat Kepa, doubling the gap.
Chelsea, with their diligent efforts, soon scored a goal, after Kovacic’s dangerous kick in the 52nd minute. There were many opportunities to equalize after that, but Chelsea players could not take advantage of the success.
In the 84th minute, it again stemmed from a mistake by Chelsea’s defense, this time Kepa’s rudimentary pass created conditions for Calvert-Lewin to complete the double, sealing a 3-1 victory for Everton.
