Chelsea now up to fourth
That win is huge for Chelsea.
They move from sixth to fourth and are level on points with Nottingham Forest and one more than Newcastle who both have games in hand.
Chelsea need to keep themselves in the top five to make it into the Champions League and that’s a good start to the remainder of their campaign.

Reaction from Joe Cole on TNT Sports:
“Sitting fourth now with that win is psychologically massive for Chelsea and puts them in a good position for the run in.
“When you see a group of players celebrating like that you know it’s been a tough afternoon.
“Everton to their credit came here and made it very, very difficult and had their chances at the end, but it’s a good win for Chelsea.”

90+4 mins: Doucoure flicks a cross into the box and sends it straight into the hands of Robert Sanchez.
It’s the visitors pushing for a late goal but they won’t get one.
For the majority of this match, Chelsea were deserving of their lead but Everton came back into it towards the end but just couldn’t get over the line.
Chelsea earn their three points and that’s a big result for them.
