Momentum checked
For 13 intoxicating minutes on Saturday evening, Chelsea appeared to have finally escaped from the cage in which they have been living in the Premier League: tenth place. Yet it is there Graham Potter’s side remain. Ellis Simms saw to that.
The Everton forward’s 89th-minute equaliser ensured Chelsea remain ensconced in Premier League purgatory. It shouldn’t be like that, of course, if only because Chelsea were good for prolonged spells against Everton. Possession was moved intelligently - largely thanks to always impressive Enzo Fernandez - across the pitch. Movement in the final third was sharp. Chances were created.
