Chelsea 0-1 Everton

Boos reign down from the home fans as Courtney Brosnan goes down and calls the medics on.

After some light treatment she's back to her feet and ready to carry on though.

'What a game Brosnan is having'

Courtney Brosnan, what a game you are having. Unbelievable save, again.

Alyssa Thompson is through, and not once has she got her head up to see Lauren James.

I'm not saying she should pass it, but is there a better option there top square it to James?

CLOSE!

Great effort from Alyssa Thompson who stings the palms of Courtney Brosnan after a lung-busting run down the right.

Almost crept in at the far post there.

Oh, I absolutely agree, Ciara (RE:14:53), Erin is a huge miss, but I don't think Walsh fits at Chelsea for some reason!

Roberto

Fair point, Roberto.

She's one of the best midfielders in the world though, for me you make the system fit around her rather than the other way around.

Nice one touch passing as Keira Walsh passes forward to Maika Hamano who then tees up Sandy Baltimore for the shot.

The French international gets a lot of power behind it but it fizzes high and wide of the near post.

Chelsea are still dominating the ball but they are really struggling to break down this Everton mid block.

After some more side to side passing Lauren James swings a cross into the middle but it drifts behind without a decisive touch.

Ouch.

Nicole Momiki bravely ducks to head a loose airborne ball and gets a Maika Hamano boot to the head for her troubles.

Thankfully after some treatment she looks ok to continue.

A reminder that Everton were winless in eight since thumping Liverpool 4-1 on the opening day at Anfield.

They sure don't look like a side short on confidence and form here.

Ellie Carpenter sets off on one of her trademark runs down the right to win a corner, but Everton keeper Courtney Brosnan is barged into as she leaves her line to punch it clear and gets a free kick,

Chelsea momentum halted yet again.

It's like Chelsea have pressed the factory reset button here. They're back to side to side passes and looking for little through balls around the box.

Alyssa Thompson almost got to the byline there but for superb shielding from the Everton full-back Rion Ishikawa.

This game state is now suddenly in Everton's hands. A team that loves to transition with a one goal lead to protect = perfect.

Though Hikaru Kitagawa and Co will have to produce better than that if they are to add any further goals here. That long range shot nearly went out of the stadium.

Well that's about as bad a start for Chelsea as it is a dream start for the Toffees.

Who saw that one coming?
