Chelsea come from behind to beat Everton... convincingly:
Chelsea have come from a goal down at Stamford Bridge to beat Everton 4-1.
Chelsea's squad was similar to the one that beat Tottenham last week:3-5-2
Cech
Terry
Alex
Carvalho
Malouda
Ballack
Essien
Joe Cole
Deco
Lukas Podolski
Didier Drogba
However after just five minutes, Scolari's team was behind, a Johnson goal one on one with Cech. But Everton seemed to throw the game away on 33 minutes when an unnecessary Yobo tackle on Deco gave a penalty to Chelsea and Yobo a red card. Drogba sent Tim Howard the wrong way. 1-1 and the two teams were level at half time.
On 55 minutes, a Ballack full volley forced the best out of Howard, tipped over the bar.
The game went quiet for 20 minutes until Scolari took Deco off and replaced him with Riquelme. Malouda took a throw-in to Riquelme on the next play. And he dribbled three defenders to slot it into the top corner past Howard. His first involvement, his first goal of the game.
Riquelme took a corner on 81 minutes, and found Podolski who headed it into the back of the net.
And finally on 90 minutes, Podolski returned the favour, crossing from the by-line to Riquelme at the far post who from point blank range volleyed home to get his second and Chelsea's fourth.
And that's how it finished, a de-moralising defeat for Everton and a great performance from Riquelme.
Riquelme:"Well I am very pleased as Deco was to surprise those who doubted me and how I would perform in the EPL".
Chelsea 4-1 Everton
