Everton end Chelsea’s premier league unbeaten run.

Everton denied Chelsea the chance to move temporarily atop the table thanks to a narrow win at Goodison Park.

The Toffees grabbed the only goal midway through the first half when Edouard Mendy marked his return to the side by fouling Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the area to give away a needless penalty.

The Chelsea goalkeeper has been impressive since his arrival late in the summer, and it seems he has more than enough credit with boss Lampard to cover for this slip-up.

“Yes, he’s been fantastic since he’s been here,” Lampard said after the game. “Clearly not just his mistake either. Our mentality with second balls wasn’t good. We gave them a head start.

“We didn’t necessarily deserve to lose the game but it wasn’t the us of recently.”

Gylfi Sigurdsson then celebrated his own comeback by stroking home calmly before a series of big Jordan Pickford saves preserved that lead and haul his side up to seventh.
