Chelsea FC vs. Everton Goal Analysis
By Mike Adams
3rd Everton Goal (76’) – The Toffee’s struck again just two minutes after the Matic goal when another former Chelsea player, Samuel Eto’o, scored off of a set piece.
John Obi Mikel fouled Lukaku in the middle of the park, allowing Everton to put numbers forward into the box ahead of the Leighton Baines free kick from 40 yards out. Baines lobbed the ball into the area and found his target in Eto’o, who brilliantly curled a standing header from some distance around the 6’6 frame of Courtois. The Cameroonian was Terry’s marker before the free kick but the Chelsea captain got pulled into covering fellow Englishman Phil Jagielka. Ivanovic arrived too late to challenge Eto’o, whose unmarked header put the game’s result into question once again.
