Chelsea dominated possession in the first 10 minutes. Everton hardly had a chance.
However, Chelsea could only present the first opportunity in the 16th minute. From Reece James’ corner kick, his wild ball went to Jorginho out of the penalty area, and was immediately kicked by the midfielder. The ball just slid to the side of Everton’s goal.
Aim! After struggling to dismantle Everton’s defense, Chelsea were able to break through the opponent’s goal in the 31st minute.
From an attack that Callum Hudson-Odoi built on the left side, the ball was passed to Marcos Alonson. The Spanish side then released a bait to the center.
Kai Havertz was able to greet him and continued with a kick with his left foot. The ball hit Ben Godfrey and entered Everton’s goal. Chelsea won 1-0, and the scoring lasted until halftime.
In the second half, Chelsea’s pressure had not abated. Everton continues to be beaten by Werner et al.
In the 54th minute, Havertz was even able to score a goal, after using the Hudson-Odoi pass. However, his goal was disallowed as it turned out that Havertz had handball first, after being verified by VAR.
Everton responded two minutes later. With a quick attack, Richarlison has a good chance of scoring a goal, but his shot is off the mark.
In the 58th minute, Chelsea threatened again. Through Reece James’s experiment, the defender’s kick only slid slightly to the left of Everton’s goal.
Chelsea’s pressure eventually resulted in a second goal, in which Kai Havertz played again. In the 65th minute, the hosts received a penalty after Jordan Pickford violated Havertz. Jorginho stepped up to be the enforcer, and was able to outwit the England goalkeeper. The score becomes 2-0.
After winning, Everton had more and more problems facing Chelsea. Carlo Ancelotti’s adopted children created almost no meaningful opportunity.
While Chelsea can still make some shots on goal. First by the action of Timo Werner in the 80th minute, and a header by Kurt Zouma in the 81st minute.
In the 85th minute, Chelsea nearly scored a goal if N’Golo Kante’s shot from Mateo Kovacic was missed by Pickford. Until the match was dissolved, no more goals were scored. Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Everton persisted.
