Chelsea 2-2 Everton
by Amar Azam at Stamford Bridge

THREE successive victories had signalled an upturn in form for Chelsea’s supporters, but for all the talk of a resurgence, yesterday’s draw suggests there’s quite a bit more work needed from manager Graham Potter as he looks to craft a side capable of once again challenging the league’s top clubs.  

The victory was in their grasp but was snatched away when young forward Ellis Simms, coming off the bench, fired in the equalising goal with a minute of the match remaining to earn Everton a deserved point.  

After a disastrous start to the season, Sean Dyche’s side continue to lift themselves away from the relegation zone.
