Chelsea’s Premier League title hopes took a hit over the weekend as Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by a resilient Everton side at Goodison Park. The result underscored manager Enzo Maresca’s concerns about maintaining consistency in the title race.
Arriving on the back of an impressive eight-game winning streak, Chelsea dominated possession but struggled to break through Sean Dyche’s well-organised defence. The match marked the Blues’ first scoreless outing in the league since the opening day of the season, exposing areas where improvement is needed to sustain their title push.
Meanwhile, Everton capitalised on the momentum of their recent ownership changes, climbing to 15th in the table. The draw provided a valuable point in their battle to avoid relegation.
Both goalkeepers, Jordan Pickford and Robert Sanchez, played pivotal roles, making key saves to preserve the stalemate. Despite moments of promise, neither side could overcome the swirling conditions, which contributed to a scrappy affair.
