ideal weather conditions for football here in west london we're at stamford bridge i'm
derek ray and joining me for commentary is lee dixon and it's all about action
from the premier league in this case it is chelsea facing everton yeah thanks derek
both teams will no doubt be looking for a quick start so important to get focused
from the off really looking forward to this hopefully it won't disappoint
and this is how it looks for chelsea andreas christensen plays alongside thiago silva in
central defense and getting the vote of confidence in attack today olivier giroud
and here's how everton line up jordan pickford begins in goal yeti mina starts
alongside michael keane in central defense alan starts alongside abdullah dukury
in central midfield and they line up with just the one striker looking to do a bit of damage
enjoy the game it ought to be a really interesting battle chelsea kick off
christensen on to georginio james
now with giorginio
marcos alonso team overna
james onto giorginio good work to regain possession
loves to attack from the wide areas it needs an accurate cross
and crossed in the direction of the back post just over the crossbar
on the ball azpilicueta ziesh
he's in with a chance
jorginho now alonso can they forge ahead they do and you've got to say they're good value for the
lead well we can take another look at this now and he's connected so well with it generated a lot of
power and the keeper just can't react in time look well let's have another view of that goal
one nil for then number three marcos alonso
strong play here disappointing boss pulisic
well pressing really high sigurdsson it's with dukulday alan
well doesn't get away with it free kick given well no card but i think
he can consider himself suitably warned well straight into the meat of the penalty area
able to clear the danger corner kick though here and delivering see good son
it hasn't come to very much can they do something positive on the counter attack
and now passing it through as eyes for goal and the goal is is they lead by two now fully deserved
well as we see again here the damage is started with a beauty of a through ball and once he
gets himself settled with the keeper to beat he hammers it into the back of the net smashing goal
well it's turning into a real shocker this is a very reason derek i'm not a manager
it's going their way two-nil
chelsea's certainly enjoying the lion's share of possession if you
don't control the ball in midfield it's very difficult to have enough of the ball
to create chances for your strikers and really has been a dominant performance
james well keeping hold of the ball is what it's all about for them
georginio it's worth marcos alonso and the right place to cut out the pass
now they know they need to stop him alan but he shot this on
after the foul a chance to contemplate what is next and perhaps a goal from this free kick
ducouray chance to make a game of it here the importance of that tackle cannot be overstated
marcus alonso there to take it away and we are going to have two additional minutes sigurdsson
i'm no luck keeping possession
oh he's really opened them up here
oh surely and there it is three goals in front now an immense performance well
here's the replay and it's a lovely through ball to set up the chance and he chooses to
use power in the finish not much chance for the keeper when he's hit that hard
well all the days frustrations are there for
all to see the coach needs to try and turn this around and quickly
and so the first half draws to a close here in west london
well an honest assessment would be that he hasn't really been on top of his game in attack league
yeah losing a game is bad enough but he's not helping his team out at all lack of movement
lack of imagination too easily marshalled by the defense he's not worth the keeper at all
plenty to consider based on what we've seen so far as the second half begins
well no way through pulisic now giroux getting in there to intercept
it was well stopped well the positioning is everything for
a goalkeeper and he was in a good position then christensen verna
it's with hakeem ziyesh
jorginho
precise ball movement he takes aim a goal an exceptional performance this four to the good now
well here's the replay it's a really good passing move in the build-up and still with lots to do he
unleashes a very powerful effort gave the keeper little chance lovely goal that was
oh to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room if it stays
like this derek he's not happy just look at him
a lopsided contest four nil for chelsea number 18 olivier
marcus alonso
christensen marcos alonso vienna with it now half an hour remaining then
christensen
timo verna xihu now with giorgino
bad pass
could be a chance to break here
covert lewin now james rodriguez corner awarded
played into the center of the box
allam they did have the ball but not anymore
but he shot this on and he might be through here can they keep it out
difficult to stop him well that's how to break the spirit of the attacker so a throw in here
they just let his opponent glide by great block from thiago silva oh a good diving save
over it comes but it can't get through james crossed into the penalty area well the danger is
still there now counter-attacking possibilities here can they take advantage of the situation
and he's through here well he stumped it out of there without much fuss
they've decided that now is the time to go to the bench
and over comes the corner
just not looking confident in possession
james ziesh onto giorginio
marcos alonso
verna pass after pass keeping their opponents moving
georginio timona tammy abraham and take it away
and just the one minute left in normal time here georgina vienna with it now
thiago silva and that is that the referee brings this match to an end and chelsea get
the three points lee what did you make of their performance as a whole well it must be a dream
as a striker to play in this team they create for fun and have a lovely attacking style about them
clinical finishing today as well well his performance in this particular game will have
impressed many people late well he played well scored a goal what a good performance from him
