We can all have a mix of thought about Everton's performance around this time of the season but on a neutral analysis of the results of their recent games it's not enough to say Everton have performed so well anyway. They have had series of draws with almost all the sides they have played with even in matches they should have won they ended drawing. Their win against Nottingham forest was just a narrow 0-1 win in a game Forest had a better performance but were just unlucky.

Right about now it's 90+2 minutes into the Chelsea Vs Everton game and Chelsea are leading with a lone goal to nothing. A win for a 3 points that will put Chelsea 4th on standings with just 1 point behind Manchester city.

Everton I know has always had the attribute of inconsistency in the English Premier league. The only time they become serious and start beating big teams is when they want to escape relegation. But as at today, they are not fighting to escape relegation whereas Chelsea wants to go champions league. This is the reason why I know Chelsea is going to win Everton even if Chelsea is also not very consistent this season.

Congratulations to Chelsea for a beautiful win.

For me this scoreline isn't a beautiful win but a narrow one coming from Chelsea, it may have given them the 3 points at the end of the game lifting their position on the table but it's very risky to be certain about staying consistent with wins if they continue being unable to score much goals in their games because 1 goal isn't a safe score not until end of match at full-time. I think if they get to play Liverpool and Manchester city in their next fixtures they may not survive with just scoring 1 goal. It doesn't speak well of their attacking front.

The most important thing is that Chelsea won Everton even if they only succeeded in scoring one goal. Besides the match wasn't easy for Chelsea as they almost ended in a draw if not for the defense intelligence in making sure that Everton didn't get an equalizer, though i understand the angle you are driving at, which is because they scored very early in the first half and they could have added another in the second half but this are ending games of the season, every team is always careful not to concede much goals that will affect their position in the league table. Chelsea have now moved to fourth position, if Nottingham Forest and Newcastle are unable to win their matches it means that Chelsea will occupy the 4th position for now. Even as we expected many goals from Chelsea today, we also have to understand that Everton have also been so solid lately even though they managed to play draw in most of those matches. Chelsea's upcoming match against Liverpool will not pull much tension since Liverpool has already won the league title, they will not be a hard nut for Chelsea to crack.
