Everton beat Chelsea 2-0 on Sunday, with Abdoulaye Doucoure scoring in his 100th Premier League appearance and substitute Lewis Dobbin adding a late second goal. It was Chelsea’s third away defeat in a row.
On 54 minutes, Dwight McNeil pushed forward with the ball and slid a pass to Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The one-on-one opportunity was saved by Chelsea custodian Robert Sanchez, but Doucoure hammered the rebound into the far corner of the net.
a product from the academy Dobbin sealed the three points with his first goal in an Everton shirt, thumping home a loose ball from a corner in injury time.
Chelsea drops to 12th in the table with 19 points from 16 games, while Everton has 13 points from the same number of games. Everton would be in 10th place, four points ahead of Chelsea, if not for their 10-point deduction for financial violations, which they have appealed.
The visitors dominated possession and spent much of the game in the Everton half, but lacked a clinical touch in the home box, while the Merseysiders produced some fine scrambling defence, winning three Premier League games in a row for the first time since March 2021.Everton beat Chelsea 2-0 on Sunday, with Abdoulaye Doucoure scoring in his 100th Premier League appearance and substitute Lewis Dobbin adding a late second goal.
