Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Goodison Park. Everton FC are looking to make home advantage count against Chelsea FC.
- 5' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' Everton FC are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Chelsea FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pedro Neto suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Chelsea FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Everton FC and Chelsea FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 35' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 40' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Iliman Ndiaye on 40 minutes.
- 45' Everton FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 50' Chelsea FC come into this ranked 2 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 55' It looks like no one’s ball. Everton FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 57' Ashley Young has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 57.
- 62' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Everton FC and Chelsea FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 67' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Chelsea FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 72' Malo Gusto has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 73' Another change for Everton FC made on 73 minute. Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaves to be changed by Beto.
- 74' Seamus Coleman gets the nod from Everton FC. He replaces Ashley Young and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' Chelsea FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Christopher Nkunku is hanging Nicolas Jackson on the field on 76 minute.
- 81' The home supporters are growing impatient. Everton FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 82' It’s a booking for Chelsea FC player. Axel Disasi gets a card.
- 83' That looks like a foul for a card for Steve Stone.
- 88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Beto.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
