Everton won surprisingly against Chelsea in the Premier League. The Toffees won the first game after separating from coach Marco Silva 3: 1 (1: 0). Richarlison had hit the lead after just five minutes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring twice (49 minutes, 84 minutes). Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic managed only the interim connection (52.).

For Everton it is the first victory after three recent defeats, the club had separated from the defeat in the derby against Liverpool of Silva. Interim coach Duncan Ferguson, who was active as a player for Everton between 2000 and 2006, put on the physique of his players in his coach debut: A total of 37 tackles led Everton, more than in five years, no longer in a game. Also more fouls committed the hosts (14: 9). Everton jumps by the success of the first time from the relegation places.

For the fourth-placed Chelsea it is the third defeat from the past four league games. As a result, the Blues could lose out to Manchester City and Leicester City, who are the first three points ahead of leaders Liverpool with three and six-point advantage. Chelsea are showing inconsistent performances this season, with no Premier League team conceding more goals away.

One reason could be the age of many players: Because in the summer due to a penalty, no new transfers were made, were in the current season talents like Tammy Abraham or Mason Mount match practice - and convince mostly. In winter, Chelsea may shop again, the original until the summer valid transfer lock was shortened by the International Court of Justice Cas.

Kovac obviously visits game

A stir in the social networks a photo of the former Bayern coach Niko Kovac, who had apparently watched the game in Goodison Park. After separating from Silva, it is unclear whether Kovac's visit speaks for a possible employment. According to information from the portal "Goal" Kovac have said to Everton fans but that he makes a break from football.

I just bumped into former Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac. Everton fans were asking him if he is taking the job here but he said he had a break from footy. He is watching a host of games across England this weekend. He seems like a very nice chap. #EVECHE #CFC
