Chelsea vs Everton Highlights: EPL (12.12.09)

Chelsea’s below-par defending from set-pieces threatens to wreck their title ambitions as they drew 3-3 with Everton and failed to win for the fourth game in a row.

The Blues have now conceded an unbelievable ten goals in their last four games and all three Everton strikes arrived courtesy of a Chelsea defence that looked clueless at free kicks and throw-ins.

Everton became the first team this season to leave the Bridge with any reward but Chelsea should have put this game beyond the Toffees long before half-time. The Blues are now just three points clear of Manchester United who take on Aston Villa later tonight.

Everton took a shock lead in the 12th minute when a Louis Saha header off a Leighton Baines free-kick hit the post and rebounded into the net off the back of Petr Cech.

But Chelsea fought back and goals from Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka put the Blues in front only for substitute Ayegbeni Yakubu to pounce from a throw-in to equalise in first-half injury time.

Drogba restored Chelsea’s lead but another blunder from a free-kick allowed Drogba’s attempted clearance to bounce off the back of Saha to make it 3-3 and cost the blues some valuable points.
