Everton-Chelsea 1-0
The loss is Chelsea’s first in the Premier League since September 20. Since then, they had played nine games without losing, which has placed them behind Liverpool and Tottenham at the top of the table.
If the rivals win their matches on Sunday, the distance will be five points.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard doesn’t want to talk about whether he will win the league or whether he has the best team.
– It’s ridiculous. If you want to talk about the best stables, you have to look at the teams that have won in recent years. His team is full of forwards and wingers who have scored between 30 and 40 goals each season. “They have midfielders who have won the league everywhere,” Lampard told Sky Sports.
– We have some, but we also have young players. As a team, we are not there, think.
The club legend turns the clock on the disappointing results against West Bromwich and Southampton at the start of the season.
– So we weren’t good enough. Trash, useless. Last week we were the best team in the league and we got to win. We’re probably somewhere in the middle, Lampard believes.
– Today has been a difficult test for us. We do not approve, but will do so in the future, it continues.
The soccer expert from TV 2 doesn’t quite buy Lampard’s proposal.
– It’s to lower expectations. A safety net is provided, says Erik Thorstvedt.
– Do you believe what it says?
– I think it’s wrong. He might be serious, but then he underestimates his own group. There are six players who have entered before this season and who have improved the team. Also, they have a lot of young people who are players for the national team. That they cannot win the League is just a pipe, replies the former Premier League goalkeeper.
Loss of the guardian
At about the first half break, Everton threw the ball to Dominic-Calvert Lewin.
The Everton forward even chased after the second ball. Edouard Mendy, who has received much praise for his achievements after the Rennes transfer, made a rare mistake.
The Chelsea goalkeeper stepped off the line, confident he would get to the ball first. Calvert-Lewin beat him to it. So Judge Jon Moss had no choice but to point out the penalty spot.
Gylfi Sigurdsson was safe.
– Of course it’s not perfect either. There will be something, and there it came, TV 2 soccer expert Erik Thorstvedt said of Mendy’s flaw.
More chances
Shortly after, Reece James hit the post, before Kurt Zouma missed a great opportunity after a set piece. So Mendy corrected some of the impression when she stopped a Richarlison attempt with just the goalkeeper.
Everton went into the break with a 1-0 lead. Right after the change of sides, Mason Mount came close to scoring. The Englishman tried from long range when Jordan Pickford was completely out of position, but the attempt slipped over the crossbar.
Around the middle of the second half, the guests were saved by VAR. Ben Chilwell scored a penalty, but the London side escaped horror when Calvert-Lewin was offside ahead.
Chelsea pushed for the equalizer in the final minutes, without it being worth it.
