(Football result) - Chelsea continues to sink deeper into crisis with a 0-3 loss to Everton in the Premier League, marking their fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions in a deeply disappointing manner.
Early Sunday morning, March 22 (Vietnam time), Chelsea traveled to Hill Dickinson Stadium as guests, within the framework of Premier League round 31. Despite being determined to regain a winning feeling after the 0-3 defeat against PSG in the Champions League earlier in the week, the squad under manager Liam Rosenior continued to disappoint by conceding three goals without reply to the home team.
Chelsea started unfocused and paid the price early in the 33rd minute. From James Garner's sharp through ball, Beto accelerated past Wesley Fofana before executing a delicate lob to beat Robert Sanchez, opening the scoring for Everton.
After falling behind, Chelsea immediately created a dangerous chance. Enzo Fernandez unleashed an improvised volley from a second-ball situation after a corner, but goalkeeper Jordan Pickford excellently saved it, producing one of the most impressive saves of the season.
In the second half, the situation did not improve much for the visitors. Chelsea faced significant difficulties in approaching the opponent's goal, though Enzo Fernandez again tested Pickford from a set-piece. Meanwhile, Everton appeared far sharper in counter-attacks.
In the 62nd minute, Idrissa Gueye stole the ball just outside the penalty area, evaded the challenges of Fernandez and Marc Cucurella before assisting Beto. The striker fired a powerful shot that Sanchez mishandled, allowing the ball to slip between his legs and roll into the net, raising the score to 2-0.
In an effort to find a consolation goal, manager Rosenior introduced young talent Estevao Willian. The Brazilian player nearly created a masterpiece with a corner kick that struck the crossbar.
However, Chelsea's hopes were quickly dashed. From a long clearance by Pickford, Beto again prevailed in an aerial duel against Fofana, creating the opportunity for Iliman Ndiaye to sprint down, dribble past Moises Caicedo before finishing sharply into the top corner, sealing a 3-0 victory for Everton.
The match concluded after 5 minutes of added time, marking Chelsea's fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions. Another forgettable performance ensures pressure continues to weigh heavily on manager Liam Rosenior and his players ahead of the international break.
