#2. Everton’s ability to absorb the pressure
Everton were too lazy in the first half and the stark difference in terms of quality between the two teams was clearly visible. But the second half was completely different as Everton started on the front foot. Richarlison scored the first in the 49th minute before Sigurdsson doubled the home side's lead in the 72nd minute.
Chelsea's Pedro had a good night as he constantly troubled Lucas Digne but Chelsea failed to create many chances due to their lack of quality in the final pass. The Everton wingers narrowed the space whenever required and it was difficult for the Chelsea midfield to create anything for the forwards. Sarri failed to motivate his team in the second half, but the case was exactly the opposite for the Everton manager as he rallied his troops. Chelsea failed to close the gap on the top four and will have to be extra dominant in the coming matches to better their chances of finishing in a Champions League spot.
