Reece James was taken off in the first half, as Chelsea succumbed to another away defeat in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues’ captain reportedly sustained another hamstring problem early in the game at Goodison Park, with Mauricio Pochettino having to make a forced change in personnel.

Levi Colwill, who was initially dropped to the bench, was brought on as a left-back, while Marc Cucurella moved to right-back as a cover for James.

It wasn’t a pleasant outing for Chelsea at all, as they lost yet another Premier League fixture.

Both of Everton’s goals came in the second half, with Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin netting 38 minutes apart for the hosts.

The win sees Sean Dyche’s men maintain their 17th spot on the table, while Chelsea are now down to 12th place. Surprisingly, the Toffees would have been ahead of Chelsea on the table, if not for their 10 points deduction.
