Everton 3 – 0 Chelsea
Everton are back home at the Hill Dickinson Stadium this weekend after their cruel defeat to Arsenal this time last week, Chelsea are just 5 points ahead of Everton in the Premier League table and come to Merseyside with a massive cloud over them after the Premier League’s paltry fine levied for grievous misdoings that far outweigh Everton’s breaches of PSR.
David Moyes was not giving much away at his pre-match press conference yesterday, with no apparent advance leaks of the line-up for this match in which James Tarkowski is now available while Jarrad Branthwaite is on the bench. Tyrique George is ineligible for selection against his parent club.
Still no sign of Charly Alcaraz and his mysterious unspecified injury, as O’Brien switches to left-back and Garner features in midfield. Iroegbunam and Armstrong are on the bench.
First Half
The visitors kicked off as the spring sunshine faded behind the West Stand of the glorious Hill Dickinson Stadium. Beto inspired a forward drive but McNeil could not fashion an early shot.
Everton looked to press Chelsea and it forced them back to Sanchez. Tarkowski#s long ball went through to Sanchez but the Blues’ high press again forced a turnover, but again, Everton could not make it count.
Chelsea’s first advance saw Caicedo shoot well wide. The pace of the game was too slow, Pickford trying a long punt which was lost by Beto. Fofana then gifted Everton a corner, Garner taking it but lots of silly pushing and a free-kick given to the visitors. But Beto chased the ball down and blocks Sanchez’s clearance but could not turn the ball into the empty net, Sanchez recovering with a lucky touch.
Everton forced another turnover in midfield and Dewsbury-Hall got free down the right but crossed low too close to Sanchez with Beto on the wrong side.
Another giveaway fell for Ndiaye, but again, Everton could not turn it into a real chance. Yet another switch, Beto crossing for Garner but his shot was blocked. A great opening quarter of an hour for the Toffees… but nothing to show for it.
Palmer advanced but O’Brien blocked the cross from Neto behind off the Chelsea player. Everton built again, Mykolenko’s hard low cross bouncing off Ndiaye. An Everton throw-in led to more forward play across the Chelsea area… but still no decent shot on goal.
Palmer adavanced and it looked like Gana caught him but nothing given, Ndiaye tried to play Dewsbury-Hall forward but it was initially deflected away but Everton kept pressing and yet still couldn’t make that chance come.
Fernades swept the ball forward but Cuereela’s cross was well over-hit, no-one there. But Everton allowed Neto to run the ball into the Everton area, however, no other Chelsea player anticipated his move. But it was the first spell of Chelsea momentum, testing the Everton defence on 25 minutes.
A much quicker Everton move ended wiith a poor cross from Gana on the byeline and Chelsea surged forward, Pedro’s, shot blocked. A Chelsea corner was played to the far post where Keane headed clear.
But Chelsea worked it back, a dangerous ball forward wins a corner. An incredible sequence followed with four or five Chelsea shots, all blocked in a crowded penalty area.
Chelsea were now exerting much more control of the game, but out of notheingm a fantastic ball forward from Garner, looked impossible for Beto (33′) to manage but a perfect dink over the advancing Sanchez bobbled and bounced into the Chelsea net — a brilliant Everton goal!
A huge response from Chelsea saw Everton’s goal under huge pressure. A corner came out to Neto, but a brilliant Pickford save prevented a certain goal. Another Chelsea corner followed as Everton had to withstand a veritable onslaught of Chelsea pressure.
Everton finally relieved the pressure with Dewsbury-Hall advancing down the left, winning a throw-in. Mykolenko’s delivery to the near post forced Sanchez to punch it behind. The corner led to more Everton throw-ins. Eventually, Ndiaye got free down the left but yet again, the cross was just not good enough.
Chelsea passed the ball around until the board went up for 2 minutes added… and they carried on passing it around until Gana intercepted and tried to release Beto. But Chelsea came back and crossed in, Keane rising high to head it away and bring to an end a very good Everton half with a finely worked goal to cap it off.
Second Half
Everton restarted with a box kick, Beto almost upsetting Sanchez again before Chelsea regained control. But McNeil fought smartly for the ball and a ball in led to an Evertob corner from McNeil, Trakowski at the far post, Sanchez just beating Beto to the headed ball.
Chelsea slowed it right down again, trying to draw Everton out, but Dewsbury-Hall forced another turnover. Everton tried a couple of neat moves but both were cut off by good Chelsea defending. There were some lively exchanges in midfield, and some great turnovers, but Everton weren’t holding the ball or making much of the possession.
Dewsbury-Hall was fouled by Caicedo wide left. McNeil gave way to Garner, swung hard to the far post, Sanchez backing into the post as he caught it and just kept it out. Another Chelsea advance broke down… and likewise another Everton advance. Joao Pedro got annoyed when his crazy antics were awarded with an Everton free-kick.
Cucurella then fouled O’Brien, winning a better free-kick to the right of the Chelsea area. But Garner swung it far too close to Sanchez — what a waste!
Another lively Everton attack broke down and Chelsea finally got forward. Garnocho played back for Pedro who shot a brilliant curler coming onside the far post, Pickford parrying it brilliantly.
Chelsea advanced but Gana intercepted brilliantly and strode forward, setting up and another tantalising ball forward to Beto (63′) who shot straight at Sanchez, and an immense fumble saw the ball creep over the line behind him. Fantastic!
The Chavs were devastated, but tried their best to pull things together after another stunning setback.
Everton: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Gana, Garner, McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Beto.
Subs: Travers, Patterson, Barry, Dibling, Coleman, Branthwaite, Röhl, Iroegbunam, Armstrong.
Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto (46′ Garnacho), Fofana, Hato, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Palmer, Enzo, Neto; Joao Pedro
Subs: Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Tosin, Sarr, Essugo, Andrey Santos, Estevao, Delap.

As soon as that team was announced, we dropped two places in the table!

Mykolenko wanted to press forward around 5 minutes in but Ndiaye told him to calm down and pass it backwards… our style of play is intentional and it is effective. We try not to ever stretch the game and get caught on the break.
Most Premier League teams have elite forward players who pray on mistakes and open spaces…. We keep it tight and nick goals which is good enough to get teams in the top 8-ish places in the Premier League.
As opposed to Angeball etc that is arguably more exciting but less effective… I’m fine with how we play and enjoy stifling opposing players.
With a couple of elite forwards of our own, our style would be even more effective. UTFT… in my opinion, the first objective in a game of football is not to concede. Scoring a goal comes second.

Sean 4. Reluctantly, I have to agree with your assessment.
We could be so much better though if we had a midfielder to drive forward and break the lines. Winning is great but we aren’t great to watch.
That said, what a pass and what a finish.

Beto is miles ahead of Barry. He is a warrior and we need those.
Get Branthwaite on now!

Agree Sean @11, Beto over Barry all day even though neither are good enough really.
Barry probably would have fallen over and not even touched the ball, he’s beyond useless.
Be interesting to see if Moyes does the usual and brings him on around 60-70′, and what reaction he gets. Imagine it will not be good.

Dave,
That’s the best half of football I’ve seen at home.
Not a high bar but I thought we played on the front foot and got plenty of players in the final third.

Keep Barry on the bench for fuck sake unless we get a third.
He’s the last thing we need.

Credit where it’s due, that’s a brilliant performance from all involved, including the manager. I am not a Moyes fan in any way, shape, or form, but he got everything spot on in this game.
Special shout out to Pickford,he made crucial saves at vital times and McNeil has been excellent recently.
I wasn’t impressed with the line up when I first saw it, how wrong can you be?
It’s almost 3:30 am here — I’m the Philippines — but I feel the need to celebrate with a few Red Horses.
For me that’s one of our best performances of the season and a thoroughly deserved win.
All 11 starting players were outstanding and Chelsea weren’t just beaten, they were outclassed!

Fantastic from all concerned, that’s what I hope for every weekend at kick-off.
Garner outstanding yet again, who’s this Palmer fella? Could not be happier with that, gonna spend the rest of the day celebrating.
Should have left Beto on to possibly get the hat-trick or body check Cuco the Clown into the middle of next week, but that’s a minor quibble.
We were basically home and dry by then anyway. Looking forward to a bunch of 9s in the player ratings… 😎

Chelsea were justifiably deducted three points tonight anyway.
What a performance, and can we just take a moment to accept now that Moyes has done the best job of any manager since Martinez’s first season.
It might be mental, that, but — from where this club was 14 months ago under Dyche, dying on its feet — he’s done a fine job.

He got his rewards.

Brilliant, brilliant win today.
And although Beto is limited as a footballer, if you give him the Beto ball, he’ll more than likely put it away.
Plus defenders know they’ve been in a game.

21/03/2026 at
19:59:53
Again, we attacked with real aggression. We let Chelsea fuck about where they couldn’t hurt us and countered with a real purpose.
Can’t see any complaints coming about the manager in this thread. He’s giving his critics exactly what they want by sending his team out to win.
Fair play to him.

MK. At least it wasn’t the Brentford game you had to rewatch. Did you do it on purpose?
I said I was quietly confident today, didn’t expect such a comprehensive hiding for them. We earned it, through hard work, good football, and togetherness that will take us a long way.
If that Chelsea team had half our spirit, we wouldn’t have got near them.
Another vital save at a vital time from Pickford who keeps coming up with the goods.
I thought Keane and Tarkowski were solid and kept them to very little clear chances, like men vs boys most of the game.
Beto looks like he’s worked on his hold-up play, he’s still not amazing but he’s improving and the attack looks better balanced with him over Barry.
Gana, Garner and Dewsbury-Hall is working in midfield and they now look to have a great understanding.
Jimmy is now exuding class, his effort, his passing, his desire to join defence and attack, his pass for Beto was a beauty. Ndiaye’s goal was the icing.
The one thing that pleases me is our mentality, we bullied them, they didn’t like it. We knew they didn’t like it, so we bullied them more. We didn’t let up, didn’t sit back, didn’t allow them to get any real foothold in the game.
Blueprint for the derby?

I’ve said before, 6th or 7th could be Champions League this season, it’s not a given, but I think we suit playing these so called “better” teams, and I feel no one wants to play us.
We are that “that” team!
Hate to see Liverpool win anything, but if they won the Champions League and it gave us a Champions League spot, a tiny bit of payback!!

Brilliant performance by Everton, absolutely destroyed Chelsea from the first few seconds when Beto went full on into their defender from the kick off.
Beto had his best game in a blue shirt by far, he looked a proper striker and bullied them all game, a dominant striker display and something he has been building towards since his return to the starting lineup.
Garner showed why he deserves his England call-up, a beautiful assist for the first and instrumental throughout. I think we tied him down at just the right time, he’s miles better than some of the competition in that England midfield.
Such a happy toffee, did we last score 3 against Chelsea with the ‘prefect hat-trick’ from Naismith?
This team is mostly young with a lot of potential, I know we’ve said it before but I’m optimistic and even hopeful that we can make something of this run-in and the future looks bright if we can keep hold of our talent.

21/03/2026 at

Make no mistake, this was a tremendous result after playing so well against the Gunners last week and getting nothing.
They showed character throughout and took their chances well. Not often they score three against a top-six team and keep a clean sheet.
Garner is the most improved player in the Premier League this season and fully deserves his call-up. What a tremendous through ball to Beto for that first goal and the set up by Gana for the second was also great.
One more thing, Ndiaye has to be the bargain of the century!

Beto today was better than his two goals. He fought, he won, he was there to accept the long balls and make something with them, his distribution was better than I’ve seen him and the fellow has heart.
He wants to win and he wants to be an Evertonian, that will depend on the final games of the season but, either way, we should get a good price if we decide to sell.
Keep up the good work, you Blues.

John,
I think how we played today is easier against a side like them who think they are better. It’s the teams who sit in, and ask us to break them down where we find it harder. That’s a problem all teams have, and quality is what usually wins you them games, or a moment of brilliance.
I didn’t want Moyes but I can appreciate how far he’s taken us in a short space of time; as a manager, you are judged on results and your record.
It felt like a proper Everton performance — which I’ve not thought, even in other wins.

There’s the European performance spots, likely to be awarded to the PL this year, meaning 5 CL places.
If villa and or RS win their European competitions, therefore qualify for CL and finish outside the top 4, say 5 &6th, the EPS CL spot would go to 7th in the PL.
As I say all ifs and buts. I’d rather finish above RS and any European football!!!

Got to admit, did not expect this score line, I was thinking a draw. Great performance all round by the players and three very good goals.
Mark @ 47
Tarkowski reminds me of John Terry in the stuff he does when no need… and, like John Terry, he gets away with it.
He has been very lucky on at least four occasions this season. One of these days, he will be off (if he keeps it up).

21:04:37
I thought they played ever so well. I am sure there was plenty of moaning over the selection, but I thought they looked very good from Minute 1.
They looked a proper outfit, that has been assembled for comparative buttons. I wonder if Chelsea have kept a receipt for the £1.5B splurge on absolute dross?
Crowd played its part, the energy from Beto, Dewsbury-Hall, Garner, Gana and Ndiaye was superb.
Moyes will still have his critics, I am sure. But he is taking this team forward, and this one fan is 100% behind him.
Turning this club without massive money, to where fans think it should be, is one of the biggest and hardest in the game.
More of the same please.

Some people can’t wait to jump on you when you write certain headlines, Michael, but I have to agree with you 100% on what your headline is tonight.
We played very well, we played exactly the type of football, that Darren H has been saying we have slowly begun to show we are capable of, and it was an absolute pleasure to be inside a very happy and loud stadium tonight.
The last time I can remember the Chelsea fans emptying out so early was during the FA Cup quarter-final when Lukaku scored two. As loud as Goodison could be, I thought Bramley-Moore Dock was equally as loud tonight. Possibly even louder at times!

Kevin.
Rather us finish 6th above the RS and villa win the Europa giving us CL and the RS conference or Europa on merit with no deduction. I don’t see it coming off. I think we will finish above this Chelsea team.
All I will say is this team, this manager is giving us some hope, something to aspire to, instead of survival. I’ve a son who only knows us fighting relegation. I told him, “We’ll beat these today.” He said, “No chance!”
He’s looking up, looking at Chelsea, the RS, European football, he’s excited for what might happen. It might not, but it’s giving belief to fans who deserve it!

It’s way too often been a vicious circle, John, when the very passionate Evertonians turn up willing to give everything to get behind our team, only to then become exasperated watching slow, boring football.
I have just watched the highlights and even found the time to listen to the views of David Moyes, and surprisingly found myself agreeing with everything he said, for once!
The later kick-off gave the fans time to have a few beers in the sunshine, and those beers will have been enjoyed a lot more because of Liverpool’s result earlier today.
The mood was set, we started well, playing on the front foot, and although Chelsea came into the game, I think once we got that first goal, with the fans right behind the players, there was always only going to be one outcome.
You could really feel the noise inside the stadium tonight and it was beautiful.

Chelsea were abject, Brendan. Keeper is garbage, back 4 terrible, and the big money they’ve spent on the midfield, frittered away.

Pre-match people on here calling Moyes, I wonder if the same crew are calling him tonight.
They probably are and are dying for the return of their beloved Sean, because I’m convinced some of our fan base love fighting relegation.
Good luck to them but it’s not what I want or thousands of others, but you lot continue to call the manager.
Yes, I’m not his biggest fan but the man has galvanised our club, and anyone who disagrees doesn’t know what they are talking about.
A Moyes masterclass tonight and this is one Evertonian who is going to sleep like a baby tonight.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend, boys.

Absolute beauty of a performance. My kid said to me, “Can you imagine if they played like this every week?” I told him I couldn’t previously, but now I have hope.
Big shout to those who have received a lot of (often justified) criticism the past few years, especially Keane, McNeil and Beto. And to Pickford for a huge save yet again — if he doesn’t make it, that match is turned on its head — after the criticism of last week.
But hats off to every player today, just magnificent.
As for next season, no way the RS is winning the Champions League with how they’re playing, but not out of the question we get in anyway.
And with Beto playing as he is, it feels more at this moment that we’d sell Barry instead of Beto in the summer, especially if Barry remains unsettled. But we’ll leave those questions for later.
Nothing like finding hope in Everton again.

The least surprising part of that was Jimmy G’s performance. He’s been very high quality pretty much every game and is maybe beginning to understand how good he can be… Plenty good enough to go to the World Cup.
More surprising was Beto, not just the goals — that can happen — but the fact he produced a first-rate all-round striker performance. I never knew he had it in him.

Yes it took a while but finally we are starting to see the fruits of Moyes labour.

What pleased me most was where Beto was getting the ball.
He’s game, his hold-up play and passing could be way better, but when they play it down the sides, it opens up opportunities.
Ndiaye’s finish as well. Just brilliant off the left. Postage stamp into the top corner.

Great effort by Beto who had good players around him and it was a great overall team effort. I dont know why we do it, but we are n the front foot early at home and pass it back. We should put more crosses and passes into the opposition penalty area to pressurise them. We did that after half time and it worked well.

Mark (79) James Garner has always had the ability he has shown with Everton, he had it at Man.Unt. Then a very good season with Forest, I think the year they were promoted, and carried in improving with Everton, a bad back injury kept him out for a while but his ability has always been there and in different positions including the outstanding game he had at right back in the vital game v Bournemouth to keep us up.
Beto is a mystery but he has just had four games on the run where he shown the ability to hold onto the ball better and battle away throughout the game giving the opposition little rest, will he keep this up? Well he had a spell last season where the goals added up when the ball was played in front of him on the floor instead up,in the air when he had to try and out jump two centre backs.
A few more goals could keep him here or increase his resale value.

That was the best atmosphere at the new ground. An early defeat for the shite, sunshine and a few pints certainly got the crowd going.
Great performance from the entire team. I thought Tim was very unlucky getting dropped but you can’t argue with the result.
As good as Garner is at full back he is our best midfielder and shouldn’t be displaced. The through ball to Beto was a thing of beauty. Ndiaye’s goal was unstoppable and the icing on the cake.
I have to give my motm to Beto, a couple of goals and an assist.
Did Barry deserve to be booed on tonight? As much as I think he is crap I don’t think he deserves that. He also didn’t hang around and was straight down the tunnel at the final whistle.
Hopefully we get shut during the summer but I doubt anyone would want him.
Moyes and the players deserve all the credit for the win tonight. The international break couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Ian 82.
Spot on.
Beto hasn’t had that service for a long time, it’s definitely the most productive service he can get.
Was impressed with his hold up play as well.
