Chelsea were held to a goalless draw against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon at Goodison Park.

Chelsea squandered the chance to put pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool as they were held to a goalless draw by Everton at Goodison Park. Sean Dyche’s side became the first team since Newcastle in October to prevent the Londoners from scoring – and only the third this season – and that brought to an end an eight-match winning run.

The pattern of the game was established very early on, with Chelsea maintaining the large majority of possession and Everton sitting back with ten men in the box.
