Comments:

League position: 7th Gylfi Sigurdsson’s penalty was the 1,000th spot kick awarded in league games involving Everton (for 543, against 457). [c/o Steve Johnson, Everton: The Official Complete Record]. The Toffees avoided failing to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive home league games for the first time since September 1959. They had now won two of their last eight games in the Premier League (lost four). Everton were awarded a penalty after 63 minutes but was reversed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was Chelsea's first defeat in their last ten games in the Premier League (won five). The Blues had now failed to win any of their five games so far in this Premier League season against opponents in the top half of the table (lost two). They had now conceded three goals in their last seven games in the Premier League.
