CLOSE: Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson
BY VOICE SPORTS TEAM
Striker Nicolas Jackson struck the post with a close-range header as Chelsea were denied the chance to go top of the Premier League table as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton at a blustery Goodison Park last night.
The conditions made it difficult for both teams, but they each had chances to win the game. Jackson was also denied from point-blank range by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as Everton kept a fifth clean sheet in six games.
Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez denied Jack Harrison at the other end with a superb stop, while Iliman Ndiaye’s goal-bound shot was blocked by visiting defender Tosin Adarabioyo.
Chelsea remain in second place with 35 points, while Everton climb to 15th with 16 points from 16 games, four clear of the relegation zone.
