After Manchester City's victory this week against Aston Villa, the ball was now in Chelsea's feet, in a race at the Champions League which risks playing on details. And the first detail appeared on the lawn of Stamford Bridge this Saturday afternoon, with an Everton jersey on the back. After a start -up start, the blues gradually took the measure of their opponent, in line with an inspired cucurella and author of the first opportunity of the match, of a recovery that flees the frame (26th). On the goal that followed, Pickford misses his recovery, and Caicedo finds Nicholas Jackson, who perfectly adjusts the porter of the Toffes (1-0, 27th).
In the second half, Chelsea will control her advance without creating a frank second -hand. This will have the effect of waking up your opponent, more incisive after the entrance to Alcaraz into the heart of the game to oppose a little agility to Caicedo. Beto (63rd), then Idrissa Gueye (67th), will in turn try their luck, but come up on a very inspired Sanchez. At the end of the match, Jackson believed to have a double on a badly pushed strike by Pickford, but the Senegalese scorer was in the offside position (84th). With this success, Chelsea recolle on a par with Nottingham Forrest, who will play a semi-final of FA Cup this Sunday.
