Chelsea Stunned by Everton in Stamford Bridge UpsetChelsea Stunned by Everton in Stamford Bridge Upset In a shocking turn of events, relegation-threatened Everton stunned Chelsea with a stunning 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Blues had entered the match as heavy favorites, having won five of their last six league games. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton displayed resilience and determination, overcoming the odds to claim a famous three points. Everton took the lead in the 20th minute through a coolly-taken penalty by Gylfi Sigurdsson. Chelsea struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Mason Mount and Timo Werner both guilty of wasting good opportunities. The home side were eventually rewarded for their persistence when Kai Havertz headed in an equalizer in the 54th minute. Stamford Bridge erupted in cheers, but the joy was short-lived. Just six minutes later, Everton regained the lead through a stunning strike from Abdoulaye Doucoure. The French midfielder picked up the ball on the edge of the area and curled a delightful shot into the top corner, leaving Edouard Mendy with no chance. Chelsea threw everything forward in search of an equalizer, but Everton held firm, defending heroically. The Blues were denied a clear penalty in the closing stages when Anthony Gordon handled the ball in the area, adding to their frustration. The final whistle sparked jubilation among the Everton players and fans, who had defied all expectations to secure a vital victory. The result leaves Chelsea in third place, nine points behind league leaders Manchester City, while Everton climb out of the relegation zone. For Ancelotti, it was a sweet revenge against his former club. The Italian manager had been sacked by Chelsea in 2011, and his triumph at Stamford Bridge will serve as a reminder of his managerial prowess. The defeat was a major setback for Chelsea, who had been looking to consolidate their position in the top four. The Blues will need to regroup quickly as they face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League clash next weekend.
