Chelsea 1-Everton 1
Chelsea welcomed Everton to Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening, looking to bounce back from their poor run of form.
Thomas Tuchel’s side had recently been conceding goals for fun, struggling to see off opposition and looking well off their early-season pace.

However, when all was said and done, Chelsea had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Mason Mount did fire the hosts into the lead on the day:

As per football.london, the Italian’s frustrations with RLC boiled over after the Englishman gave the ball away cheaply with a misplaced pass and Everton countered, forcing Jorginho to bring down Gordon and receive a yellow card.
This promoted Jorginho to immediately ‘give an earful’ to Loftus-Cheek,
