FIVE MINUTES UNTIL HALF-TIME
Little in the way of goalmouth action so far but plenty of endeavour, particularly from the Everton players. Frank Lampard will be the happier of the two managers so far.

PRESS

CHELSEA COUNTER
Loftus-Cheek spins away from Delph in midfield and drives Chelsea forward before switching it to Mount. His deep cross is inviting but Coleman makes a really important headed clearance and his team mates complete the job.
22'
