In Saturday’s early kickoff, Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 thanks to a goal from Nicolas Jackson. After Manchester City’s loss, Enzo Maresca’s team moved up to fourth place.
After receiving the ball from Enzo Maresca, Jackson sent a shot into the bottom corner of Jordan Pickford’s net during the first half. The Senegalese forward hadn’t scored in four months until this.
A tenacious defense and Pickford, who saved several chances, most notably from Noni Madueke, prevented the Blues from scoring more.
During a nail-biting last fifteen minutes at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer too came up empty as he continued his goal drought that had lasted three months.
City, who are playing in the FA Cup this weekend, are now one point behind Chelsea with 60 points. Ranked thirteenth is Everton. This season, the Champions League will be open to the top five teams in the Premier League.
