Chelsea are out of breath in the final spurt of the season: Everton keep their chance of staying up

7 points from last 6 league games

Chelsea FC seems to be running out of air in the final sprint of the English championship. The dethroned Champions League winner lost 0-1 (0-0) in the Premier League on Sunday at Everton, who were threatened with relegation. Richarlison (46th minute) scored the decisive goal for the team of ex-Chelsea coach Frank Lampard after a serious blunder by the “Blues” defense around national player Antonio Rüdiger.

The team coached by Thomas Tuchel has only won one of the last four league games and only scored seven points from the last six games. After a 4-2 defeat against Arsenal, the third-placed side only played 1-1 against Manchester United last Thursday. Although Chelsea remain third with 66 points, they lost an advantage over their pursuers. Everton remain in 17th place, reducing the gap to the non-relegation places to two points.
