Everton vs Chelsea Player Ratings: Brilliant Beto brace sinks Chelsea
Everton vs Chelsea Player Ratings: Brilliant Beto brace sinks Chelsea Everton picked up back-to-back wins at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time after beating Chelsea 3-0 on Saturday. It was also their biggest triumph over the side from west London since 1987. A brilliant brace of goals from Beto on either side of the half-time break was followed by a Iliman Ndiaye adding the icing on the cake to secure all three points.
The win allowed David Moyes’ side to close the gap to Chelsea in sixth down to two points. They’re also three points away from city rivals Liverpool who currently occupy the final Champions League qualification spot. Here are the player ratings for Everton against Chelsea: Jordan Pickford: 9 Pickford is having his own Save of the Season side quest.
After his heroics to secure the win over Newcastle, England’s number 1 produced another top-drawer save to keep out Enzo Fernandez’s goal-bound effort from close range in the first half. He also denied the Argentine again in the second half and has now kept 100 clean sheets for the Toffees . Jake O’Brien: 7 It was a strong defensive performance from the Irish international who kept both Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho at bay on his flank.
James Tarkowski: 8 Returning to the side after missing the clash against Arsenal, Tarkowski had a strong performance leading the backline. He was excellent in the air and made great blocks off Neto and Malo Gusto in the first half. Michael Keane: 8 Keane was calm in possession and dealt with the aerial threat from Chelsea.
He also reacted well to an underhit pass from Pickford and carried the ball forward on occasions. Vitalii Mykolenko: 7. 5 With Cole Palmer tucking inside despite operating from the flank, Mykolenko found the space to venture forward more than usual in this game.
