On Saturday evening, "Everton" and "Chelsea" played one of the longest matches in the history of the Premier League. 8 additional minutes were added to the first half, and 10 minutes to the second half for various reasons. After a tough battle, "aristocrats" triumphed 1-0. The match started with an unpleasant incident. In the 18th minute, "Everton" defender Ben Godfrey was substituted after a serious ankle injury. Just before the end of the first half, Abdoulaye Doucoure made a foolish mistake in the penalty area against Ben Chilwell. Jorginho soon converted the penalty kick, which turned out to be the only goal of the match. In the second half, "Everton" forwards Dele Alli and Demarai Gray had dangerous opportunities, but neither of them managed to score. In the middle of the second half, another "iris" defender Yerry Mina was substituted due to heel pain. Just before the added time, one of the fans in the stands needed medical assistance. This time was also added to the original. Raheem Sterling could have killed the match after a great pass from debutant Marco Cucurello, but "host" defender Vitaliy Mykolenko was in the right place at the right time. Next week, "Chelsea" will host "Tottenham" at home, while "Everton" will play away against "Aston Villa".
