Chelsea coach Graham Potter was left to rue poor defending that cost his side two points in a 2-2 draw at home to Everton on Saturday that set back the Blues' revival from their dramatic slump in form.
Chelsea created a string of chances but failed to convert before the break. They seemed to be on their way to another three points when they went 1-0 up in the 52nd minute when on-loan Portugal winger Joao Felix's shot hit a post and went in.
Then, with Chelsea back in front after a Kai Havertz penalty made it 2-1, Everton substitute Ellis Simms took advantage of space in the 89th minute to hold off Kalidou Kouibaly and blast a shot past Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. “When you look at how much we put into the game, how much we tried to attack, to be cheap with the goals we conceded is frustrating.”The draw left Chelsea in 10th spot in the Premier League, 11 points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth of the top four Champions League qualifying spots, though they have played a game less than their North London rivals.
“I think results-wise, it's a step back because we wanted to win. But performance-wise it's step forward. There was a lot good in the game. We attacked well.”
