Goalkeeper mistakes should be a thing of the past at Chelsea after the replacement of Spaniard Kepa. But at 0: 1 at Everton, his French successor Edouard Mendy made a mistake that ultimately made the game. Everton, who had faced ailing James Rodriguez, took the lead not entirely undeservedly: Mendy, who had been treated only seconds earlier after a fall, came out of his box despite the very manageable danger and ruthlessly cleared Calvert off. -Levin. Sigurdsson easily converted the penalty up front for the hosts (22). Chelsea seemed uninspired, barely paced the offense, and Everton had better chances despite 30 percent possession. Richarlison missed after a counterattack to Mendy (52nd), a Sigurdsson free kick missed (54th). Furthermore, Chelsea were lucky that the second penalty for the home team was withdrawn after the use of the VAR: Calvert-Lewin had been slightly offside during development (64th).
