Nicolas Jackson could face retrospective FA ban as new photo emerges after Everton defeat

After seeing the absolute horror show that was Chelsea's defeat to Newcastle United towards the end of last month, Blues supporters would have been hoping they would not have to witness something like that again – for a while at least. Just over a fortnight later, however, and Chelsea fans saw something very similar against Everton at Goodison Park.

They saw their team beaten up against a hungrier, more determined – for want of a better word – better team. In the match at St James' Park, there were moments in the first half that would have encouraged Chelsea supporters. And the same could be said for what happened on Merseyside.

A few of the attacking players looked bright. The midfield shape looked encouraging. The defence were rarely troubled. But the second period was a completely different story.

Whatever Sean Dyche said to his Everton players at half-time was the perfect advice because the Toffees, who seem even more fuelled than usual due to the 10-point deduction they received less than a month ago, were suddenly up for the fight and they came out to bully Chelsea. And, to be fair, it was not particularly difficult to bully Chelsea.

Everton, as we knew going into the game, are a very physical team and it takes a lot to overpower them. But Chelsea did not even give it a go in the second half. It was far too easy for the Toffees to dictate how the game was going.

One goal early in the second half from Abdoulaye Doucoure and one in the dying stages through Lewis Dobbin ensured Dyche's side secured a thoroughly deserved three points. Mauricio Pochettino came out after the game and suggested that his team were the better of the two sides but that is very difficult to agree with.
