#3 Flop: Bernard

For someone who arrived in England's top-flight with such fanfare over the summer, Bernard has failed to justify his hype yet.

Two weeks ago against Manchester United, he squandered a golden opportunity to score. The same could be said away at Stamford Bridge, against a Chelsea side that rarely allowed many clear-cut chances on Kepa Arrizabalaga's goal in truth.

He saw an effort from range flash narrowly wide of the far post early in the first-half but should have been sent off after his reaction in an off-the-ball incident before half-time.

Having been outmuscled by Willian, Antonio Rudiger reacted angrily to his theatrics when going down appealing for a free-kick. He responded by getting to his feet and headbutting the German international, who was seen clutching his face but somehow received a booking too afterwards.

He created two passes, was Everton's second best passer (88.9% accuracy) but found himself dispossessed on three occasions and struggled to really impose himself on the game.
