By Michael Pavitt By Michael Pavitt Beto doubles the Everton lead! It is great work from Gueye to start with as the Everton midfielder beats two Chelsea players to the ball. He covers half the length of the field and lays the ball into the path of Beto. Beto fires straight at Robert Sanchez and the ball goes through the Chelsea goalkeeper's legs. It is great work from Gueye and Beto, but more questions over the Chelsea players involved in that goal. By Michael Pavitt A smart stop from Jordan Pickford to deny Enzo Fernandez. Fernandez curls one from the left hand side of the box and Pickford stretched to tip the ball behind for a corner. By Michael Pavitt Romeo Lavia lasts for nearly an hour. He makes way for Andrey Santos. Robert Sanchez is called into action from another Everton free kick with the Chelsea goalkeeper coming out to claim. By Michael Pavitt Caicedo fouls Dewsbury-Hall out wide and Everton can get the big men forward from the back. James Garner appears to overhit the free kick and Robert Sanchez backpedals and gathers just in time to prevent ball going in. Sanchez is nudged into the post by Tarkowski, but kept the ball from crossing the line. The Chelsea keeper goes down after colliding with the upright. By Michael Pavitt Will this be the pattern for the second half? Chelsea are having a lot of possession and Everton are staying firm in their shape and looking to hit them on the break. Everton are snapping into challenges in midfield. By Michael Pavitt Alejandro Garnacho has seen a decent amount of the ball since coming on at the break. Garnacho is out on the left wing, with Pedro Neto switching over to the right. By Michael Pavitt Everton go in search of a second from a corner. Beto goes close to latching onto a Tarkowski header, but Robert Sanchez is there first to gather for Chelsea. By Michael Pavitt A long way to go here, but as it stands Everton would be going within two points of Chelsea if they win this. Quite the weekend for Aston Villa fans so far. They have seen Man United and Liverpool drop points in the Champions League race ahead of their match against West Ham tomorrow. Chelsea could well be letting points slip too. Main take away from half-time, Marco Materazzi, here as a guest of Everton, bloody loves Dairy Milk. He had two of them. Right, on with the game. .. By Michael Pavitt A change for Chelsea at the break. Malo Gusto makes way with Alejandro Garnacho coming on. Moises Caicedo looks to be moving to right back for the second half. I wonder what the Chelsea boss has said to his side at the break? Will there be a reaction from the Blues? Everton get us back underway. By Michael Pavitt An ambitious ball from Pickford gifts Chelsea possession and they nearly craft an opening. Joao Pedro plays in Garnacho, but he easily gives the ball away as he looks to cut in onto his right foot. Garnacho goes into the book for dissent shortly afterwards after seeing an appeal for a free kick waved away. Cucurella is dragged away from the referee by a team-mate who urges him to get on with the game. By Michael Pavitt You won't be surprised to hear that the Everton fans are loving every minute of this. It is a fully merited lead for the hosts.
