Highlights

Full-time: In front of 2,000 Everton supporters, Carlo Ancelotti's men win at Goodison Park for the first time in two months, inflicting a first defeat in 17 on Chelsea.

90'+3

Pickford takes the pressure off as he plucks a deep cross out of the air. Everton are almost there...

90'

FIVE minutes to be added on! These terrific home fans can almost taste victory.

90'

Everton sub: Richarlison is replaced by Kenny. And Davies came on for Iwobi a few minutes ago, I must add.

89'

The Man of the Match has to be an Everton defender. Holgate has been excellent, but Keane shades it.

87'

Everton win a corner, and they're going to take their time with this. Gomez's delivery is cleared, but the substitute gets a second opportunity to deliver, which he wastes.

85'

Chance for Giroud! He fluffs his lines, failing to hit the target with a first-time shot from Werner's cross. It just hasn't been Chelsea's day.

83'

Subs: Billy Gilmour comes on for Kovacic for Chelsea, while Andre Gomes replaces the goalscorer Sigurdsson for Everton.

81'

Off the post! For the second time this evening Chelsea are denied by the woodwork. Mount searches for the bottom corner with a curled free-kick, Pickford isn't getting there but he's saved by the post!

80'

Yellow card! Doucoure goes into the book for a shove on James. Chelsea have a free-kick in dangerous territory. James, Chilwell and Mount are over it...

78'

Everton demonstrate their quality on the break, with Iwobi driving down the right flank. His target is Doucoure at the far post, but the cross is just ahead of his team mate.

75'

Godfrey jumps with Abraham as an in-swinger comes in, with the ball bouncing behind. Chelsea want a corner, the referee points for a goal-kick.

74'

Pickford hasn't had a serious save to make after the restart, and Everton look very comfortable at the moment.

70'

Werner breaks into the box from the right but again the final ball lets Chelsea down. It hasn't clicked for the Blues tonight, can Abraham make a difference? Twenty to play.

69'

Chelsea sub: It certainly hasn't been one of Havertz's better days, and he makes way for Abraham.

68'

Iwobi is far too quick for Kovacic as he creates the space for a cross from the right flank. His cross is desperately poor, though, and doesn't pick out a blue shirt.

64'

No penalty! The referee's decision is overturned as Calvert-Lewin *was* in an offside position. A let off for Chelsea.

63'

Another penalty to Everton... or is it? Iwobi releases Calvert-Lewin, who is brought down by Chilwell. The referee Jon Moss points to the spot, but VAR is having a look. Was Calvert-Lewin offside?

61'

Tammy Abraham is warming up for Chelsea.

59'

Yellow card! James is booked for a dangerous foul on Allan. He may have won the ball but you can't make a challenge like that any more without punishment.
