As part of the 12th round of the Premier League, the London-based Chelsea hosted the Everton Liverpool. The victory of the team Maurizio Sarri could at least temporarily bring it to the first place in the standings, besides the allenator released for the match the optimal composition, capable of defeating any opponent. True, these performers started the match without much enthusiasm, immediately after the starting whistle allowing Everton to control the ball, the guests struck several shots on goal in the opening of the meeting, but none of them carried a threat to Arrisabalagi.

But the kick of Bernard, who played on the selection after a corner, can be considered dangerous, but he lacked a little accuracy. Toward the middle of the first half, the Londoners completely took the ball under control, owning it before leaving for a break, but it didn’t bring much benefit, there were no sparkling attacks, and dangerous moments, too, except for Alonso, first free-kick. , after which the ball missed the target, and then the Spaniard struck powerfully after the filing of Willian, but Pickford coped with this shot.. Before the break, the teams did not open an account by going to the locker rooms with "zeros".

The first minute of the second half of the meeting almost proved to be successful for the hosts - Morata struck the goal from several meters, but Pikford responded to the blow of Alvaro and saved his team. After that, the Londoners took the ball under control again, only occasionally giving it to the possession of an opponent who was very close to a goal, but Bernard ruined everything, who got entangled in his own legs and missed the opportunity to send the ball into the net.

Then the hosts seriously pressed the opponent to their own penalty, starting to create dangerous moments.. The first to score was Willian, who broke into a shock position and shot into the far corner, but the ball missed the goal, after a few minutes the ball ricocheted off Mina’s foot after hitting Azar and sank under the crossbar, but Pickford was again at a height, moving the ball to the corner. A little later, Everton's goalkeeper was powerless, but the bar came to his aid after a powerful blow by Willian.

In the second half of the second half, the dangerous moments at the Pikford gates stopped, but Chelsea did not stop trying to put the squeeze on the opponent, scoring at least one goal, but could not do anything with the layered defense of the "toffee".

As a result, Chelsea did not give in to the opponent and was forced to be content with only one point in the match, in which he was obliged to win, and Everton can be proud of the result.
