Chelsea and Everton share a point
Chelsea missed a chance to move two points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City
as a depleted Everton side earned a superb point at Stamford Bridge.
England midfielder Mason Mount gave the hosts a deserved lead in the 70th minute with a calm finish past
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford following Reece James’ pass.
But Everton equalised four minutes later when 19-year-old defender Jarrad Branthwaite, in his first league
appearance of the season, converted at the back post after Anthony Gordon’s free-kick.
Thiago Silva had a chance to win it for Chelsea but saw his powerful header superbly saved by Pickford.
The result leaves them third, four points behind leaders City, with Everton staying 14th.
