Premier League News – Everton Humbles Defending Champions

Chelsea is now in a real trouble. They have already lost the same number of matches till date this season that they lost throughout their last Premier League campaign. On Saturday, they succumbed shamelessly to Everton at Goodison Park, with the Toffees hammering the Blues’ pride by a 3-1 result. 

After the match, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho lost his cool and lambasted Everton coach Roberto Martinez with foul words.  Here is Premier League news from Chelsea vs Everton.

Naismith – The Hero of the Match 

Steven Naismith scored a hat-trick to help the Toffees dent the guests’ pride. He came in as a substitute for injured Muhamed Besic and assaulted twice in quick succession.

Nemanja Matic halved the gap with his brilliant strike but the travelling side failed to post an equalizer while the scoreline was embellished by the Scot with only eight minutes to go. 

John Stones was anchored in the first team. The England international was the subject of Chelsea’s interest and the Stamford Bridge also lodged a bid though only to experience rejection. The promising defender did a good job at the backline. Besic returned to Everton’s starting lineup but was withdrawn after only nine minutes for what looked like a hamstring injury and Naismith was introduced.

Early Opener

The Scotland international leaved his impact soon after his introduction. The 28-year old produced his first goal with a brilliant header after ripping through the defence following a clever turn to create amount of space required. It was a nice treat to the home crowd, with 17 minutes into the match. 

Mourinho slotted Asmir Begovic in place of injured Thibaut Courtois. The visiting side should be grateful to the Bosnian as he did two brilliant saves very quickly to prevent further assault for his employer. At first, he denied Arouna Kone who shot a close-range header and then frustrated James McCarthy by jumping to his right. 

Second Came Quickly

However, the travelling glovesman could do nothing to stop Begovic from notching up his second goal in the show. He produced a fine 20-yard left-footed shot to hit the far corner of the net within five minutes of the opener.

Chances for Chelsea 

The visitors had their first opportunity when Cesar Azpilicueta evaded the offside trap but Stones rushed across to castigate his effort. The Blues found no end to their struggling as Everton defence looked stronger and more organized. However, thanks to Matic, they heaved a sigh of relief and came back into the match when he bent his 20-yard drive away from host goalie Tim Howard who looked desperate to maintain a clean sheet.

Eden Hazard almost closed the gap just before the break. He tapped into a pass from Diego Costa who showed his skill but Hazard’s shot sailed narrowly wide off the mark.

Second Half

The match resumed at a patchy pace after interval. Romelu Lukaku had a chance to restore the lead for Everton but his firing from inside the penalty area went straight at Begovic. Several players were thrown into the match by Mourinho but nothing saved the day for him. Naismith came up with his third following his finishing touch to an intelligent reverse-pass from Ross Barkley.

Early Assault 

They started and finished with style in front of packed stadium at their home ground. It was a challenge for them to get back to the track and they did it in an effortless but eye-catching way. And it was a delicious performance that the home fans were treated to.

The home team looked aggressive from the starting and with just two minutes on the clock, they got their name on the scoreboard. 
It was James who first controlled the ball before whipping it towards Gareth Bale and the Welsh international produced a solid finishing just from outside of the penalty area. It was the first La Liga goal for the former Spurs winger during this current season. 
The white troop built up more pressure and was almost closer to the second strike just a minute later. James shone again with his pass but Benzema failed to kick it past Adan despite being in a one-on-one situation. The hosts were cheerful and pumped in more effort to embellish the scoreline. More opportunities they crafted but all were not converted. 
Another chance arrived on 5th minute and involved Cristiano Ronaldo. The talisman blasted a powerful free kick but the travelling keeper managed to save the danger with his fingertips. Ronaldo was frustrated the second time on 35th minute. 
James played just like a magician, coming up every time with a new creative touch. He had an assist in the first goal and for the second, he took all the troubles. Just before the break, the Columbian played a trick by pretending to send a cross but came as a shocker with his venomous strike off the woodwork on 39th minute. 

Dream Show in Second Half

The first half was just a harbinger for what the second half had in store for the visiting side as well as home faithful. The entire team got involved in a wonderful show and with synchronized pace.

The third came due to Bale-Benzema connection, with the former being the creator and the later being the executor. 
The only threat from the traveling side came in the first half but Real Keeper Navas did not fail to castrate it. The Madrid club claimed their control over the match and the fourth was added to their score-chart when Jose carved out an excellent performance on the 50th minute. He picked up a long-distance shot from Kroos and whipped it into the net with a spectacular bicycle kick. 
Navas showed a piece of his brilliance by frustrating a penalty kick by Ruben Castro on 60th minute. Bale rounded up his team’s score with a 20-yard shot on 89th minute. The ball first glanced off the woodwork before making its way beyond the line.
