What happened in the Chelsea vs Everton match?
And the header and right of the goalkeeper, Richarlison on the follow-up! Richarlison picks it up and goes down, and it's a penalty. It's saved, but he's there for the rebound! Gaffey Sigurdsson tucks it home. Is that enough to make Everton safe this week? Everton transformed in the second half. It's a brilliant win for them over Chelsea. We can hear from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Seamus Coleman with Geoff Shreves. Gylfi, Seamus, a much-needed win and also the first time we've been to the top six side since two years ago here. So just how sweet a feeling is that all in?
Yeah, everything about the result today is so important. We were very disappointed with our result against Newcastle, the way we let it slip. We had a great atmosphere here against Liverpool and the fans carried that on today. It definitely does influence the players. First half, we were lucky to get out of there with a 0-0, to be honest. We couldn't really figure them out. But second half, from the off, Dominic put one right across the box and the fans got with us. A brilliant result.
Gilfie, just how much more intensity was there about your play in the second half?
Completely different. Like Seymour said, started on the front foot in the second half. He almost got a goal with, I think it was Dominic putting a cross in for Bernard, but it was completely different in the second half. I think we defended well, even though Chelsea were on top in the first half. But as I said, it was a poor performance from us in the first half. We were still in the game and then we always thought we were going to create chances and we took our chances in the second half.
What did the managers say or what did you say amongst yourselves at half-time? Why the sea change?
We need to be completely different in the second half, it was poor from us in the first half, we were second to everything and it was a lot different, much better, more attacking, more movement and I thought we won a lot more second balls in the second half and that was important for us.
You mentioned the crowd there, Seamus, how much is it that they feed off of you and vice versa, particularly when you've got the goal?
Yeah, definitely.
How did Everton's performance change in the second half?
Look, obviously we need to give them something to cheer about and too often this season that hasn't been the case. But when they get right behind us, you know, this Goodison is a very tough place to be in. That's what we've, you know, pride ourselves on for many years, this atmosphere and teams finding it tough to come here and we want to get back to that. And, you know, I think the last two home games, I think we're getting close to that atmosphere again.
1-0, the game's still in the balance. Guilford, you've not had much from the penalty spot here at Goodison. So how much pressure was there stood over that?
Yeah, it was. I think it's probably better to score from open play than from the penalties if I'm going to try to be positive, but I managed to put it away after he made a save. I thought the defensive side of the game from us was very good in the second half. He dealt with them. Obviously, they're very good going forward. A lot of quality players, but it was nice to get a clean sheet. That was one of the things we talked about before the game.
What can you build on from a result like this?
Well, that's been the frustration this season. We've had one good result, two good results and performances, and then we slip away in the games that we should be winning. So we are capable of results like that, but it's about being consistent, and I think that's the next step for us, because we want to be challenging the top six in the future. Obviously, we've been miles off it this season, but we can take confidence in nights like today. Is it fair to say a St Patrick's Day go? That was a pretty decent one. Yeah, it was good, and happy St Patrick's Day to all Irish watching, but yeah, that's perfect for me, a win in the Premier League.
Well done, guys. Cheers. Thank you.
I think it's fair to say toffees everywhere are smiling tonight. This is the breakdown, 2-0 most importantly, but 15 attempts from Everton to Chelsea, 16.
