Dec 22, 2024

Chelsea failed to hunt for victory in Everton's away game.

Chelsea drew 0-0 at 11 p.m. on the 22nd (Korea time) at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England, in the 17th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season. The draw did not close the gap between second-place Chelsea and first-place Liverpool.

Chelsea opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation. Nicola Jackson, Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer, Pedro Netu, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Marlo Gusto, Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, Axel Disasi and Robert Sanchez were among the participants.

Chelsea's counterattack began in the 10th minute of the first half. Netu, who received Palmer's pass, tried to shoot inside the penalty box but headed straight to the goalkeeper.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Chelsea lifted Everton's pressure. Netu handed it to Palmer, who delivered it to the penalty box. Jackson finished with one touch, but Pickford made a decisive save. Gusto's header, which followed, was missed and headed over the net.

Chelsea also threatened Everton in the 31st minute. The ball flowed backward from the corner, and Jackson tried to push it in but hit the post. Gusto was headed for a second ball, but Pickford blew himself out and blocked it.

Everton threatened Chelsea for the first time. In the 37th minute of the first half, Abdullaye Doucoure advanced boldly. Orell Mangala took over and hit a shot, but was blocked by Sanchez's goalkeeper. The first half ended without a goal.

Early in the second half, Everton created the opportunity first. Everton, who succeeded in a quick attack conversion in the 6th minute of the second half, created a decisive chance for Jack Harrison. Harrison's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper and Everton could not get ahead.

Everton and Chelsea players had a war of nerves in the second half following the first half.

Chelsea had difficulty attacking Everton's defense in the second half. Chelsea took the lead, but Everton also aimed for a shot.

Everton's shot almost went right. In the 31st minute of the second half, Everton launched a counterattack. Sanchez hit a cross, but the ball stopped in front of the net. Ilman Diaye had a decisive shot opportunity, but Adarabioyo blew himself out and blocked it.

Chelsea's frustrating attack continued. In the end, both teams finished the game without scoring.
