Enzo Maresca’s side missed the chance to climb to the top of the league table, the host defended resiliently on Sunday afternoon to earn a point at home to Chelsea in the Premier League showdown.
Chelsea travelled to Goodison Park this weekend in fantastic form, winning eight in a row across all competitions, but they were held to a 0-0 draw at Everton
Meanwhile, Everton’s Captain and defender James Tarkowski, who was part of a backline that defended well versus Chelsea, has commended his teams performance especially on stopping Cole Palmer.
James Tarkowski named Cole Palmer as the biggest threat in the Chelsea team, and has praised his teammates for stopping the Chelsea starman at the Goodison Park.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Tarkowski claimed that the Toffees managed to keep their opponents and Cole Palmer relatively quiet in Sunday’s match.
“I am proud of the way we worked today against a top, top side – a good point.
“They have got some good players, especially Cole Palmer, who we kept quiet.”
Nevertheless , just like most of Chelsea’s players against Everton, Palmer struggled to get anywhere near top gear as an attacking threat.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder couldn’t find much space in-between the lines. Unfortunately, he stays put on 11 goals and six assists in the league so far this season.
