The Stamford Bridge duel began with active action from both teams. Everton showed that he had come up and was pressing his opponent. Chelsea did not manage to threaten Pickford`s door early, and in the 12th minute he could get a shot. After a corner kick, the ball landed in Bernard on the border of the penalty area. The Brazilian did a great job, but the ball went to the right side of the bar.
The Londoners patiently waited to find a gap in the defense of the rival, but Marco Silva`s team was well-balanced. Marcos Alonso got a chance to shoot from the right in front of the keeper, but the shot went wide.
Everton was doing well with the protection of Azar, as the two doors were missing. Five minutes before the break was the first strike in the outline of the door. He was the work of Alonso, who shoots from the air from a tough corner, but Pickford reflected the ball.
From the start of the second half, Chelsea was far more aggressive and in the 46th minute the visitors had to intervene. After the centering of Azar, Morata caught the ball, but Pickford intervened brilliantly. Caramels also had their chances. A distant hit of Sigurdsson was reflected by Kepa, and shortly after, Bernard did not take advantage of a good situation by stumbling and not striking.
With the passage of minutes the pressure of the hosts increased. Villian missed the score, then Azar`s shot was reflected in Pickford. Everton`s goalkeeper managed to shine in the next situation when, after a shot of Azar, the ball departed to Mina. In the 66th minute Alonso hit the beam with a powerful kick with his left foot. Later Morata managed to send the ball into the net after Aspilquita`s center, but the striker was in an ambush position and the hunt was not honored.
The positions before Pikford continued, and the next one opened to Azar. The Belgian was drawn behind the defense and shot diagonally but the ball went past the beam. However, the caramel played very strongly in defense in the last minutes and did not allow much danger to be created in front of them. At the same time they made several good counterattacks, but they did not lead to a goal.
