"Chelsea" team lost points in a level position and continues to drift away from the leaders of the Premier League. Immediately the "aristocrats" played 1:1 at home with the bloodied "Everton" team, which used several young players who had very little experience so far. After the first half, the result was 0:0, although "Chelsea" already had at least three good opportunities to score in the first half. In the middle of the second half, Thomas Tuchel's trainees managed to break through - the goal was scored by Mason Mount after a pass from Reece James. After the goal, it seemed that the hosts would secure three important points. However, in the 74th minute, a penalty kick was provoked, after which one of the "Everton" academy graduates - Jarrad Branthwaite - accurately scored with his head. After this goal, "Everton" held on well and took an important point from the Stamford Bridge stadium. In these matches, the Liverpool team used even 5 young players who can be considered as "young talents" - Anthony Gordon, goal scorer J. Branthwaite, Ellis Simms, Lewis Dobbin, and Tyler Onyango. The first three started the game from the start, while the remaining two came off the bench. Another Everton academy graduate, Mason Holgate, took the center-back position. After these drawn matches, "Chelsea" is now trailing "Man City" by 4 points and "Liverpool" by 3 points at the top of the table.
