Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton at Goodison Park in a Premier League encounter that saw the Blues dominate possession but struggle to convert chances.
Chelsea controlled much of the match, registering 75% possession and completing 577 passes with 95% accuracy, compared to Everton’s 25% possession and 169 passes. The Blues created more opportunities, with 11 shots—5 on target—while Everton managed only 5 shots, 4 of which tested goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.
Despite their dominance, Chelsea were unable to find a breakthrough against a resolute Everton defense, led by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who made several key saves to keep the hosts in the game. Chelsea’s attacking efforts were hindered by a combination of strong defending and some wasteful finishing.
The match also featured a relatively clean contest, with Chelsea committing 12 fouls and receiving a single yellow card, while Everton were slightly more physical with 20 fouls and 4 yellow cards.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca expressed satisfaction with the team’s control of the game but acknowledged the need for sharper finishing in front of goal. The result keeps Chelsea unbeaten in the Premier League, but they leave Goodison Park having dropped two points.
Chelsea now turn their attention to upcoming fixtures, aiming to regain their attacking edge and continue their push toward the top of the table.
