Chelsea vs Everton [1-0] | All Goals & Extended Highlights | Premier League 2025

Nicolas Jackson gives Chelsea 1-0 win over Everton with first goal since mid-December to move Blues into Champions League spots; Beto and Dwight McNeil denied by Robert Sanchez after half-time.

Nicolas Jackson’s first goal since December earned Chelsea a 1-0 win over Everton to strengthen their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

The Senegal forward rifled in the winner from 20 yards, his first Premier League goal from outside the box and his first at all since December 15, to move the Blues ahead of Nottingham Forest and into fifth place.

Victory wasn’t without its own difficulties for Chelsea. Their only real threat in front of goal came through Noni Madueke, who forced Jordan Pickford into a hat-trick of saves.

His best effort was a fine solo run from the left before forcing Pickford to tip his shot behind at full stretch.

The lack of a second goal did little to dampen the anxiety which has grown around Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, and neither did Chelsea needing Robert Sanchez to make two big second-half saves to preserve their lead.

First Jack Harrison robbed Levi Colwill and teed up Beto to pull a fine stop out of the Spaniard, before he produced an acrobatic save to keep out Dwight McNeil’s volley in the dying minutes.

Any worries of more Chelsea disappointment were finally lifted by the full-time whistle ahead of games with Liverpool, Newcastle, Man Utd and Nottm Forest, with the Blues certain to remain in the top five until Nottm Forest host Brentford on Thursday evening.
