 Thomas Tuchel was right, Chelsea weren't at the highest level on day one. At least not ahead.   But it's not often that they come here and win, that alone would have been a great satisfaction regardless of their performance.

 and some key contributions from his fellow defenders, the hugely experienced trio of captain César Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva and debutant Kalidou Koulibaly.  

 Raheem Sterling was the fiercest of his three forwards with Mason Mount and Kai Havertz calm but with time and more additions, chemistry and quality Tuchel will  surely wait, sure  Meanwhile even in the defeat there has been encouragement for managers and former managers of everton The great Lampard of Chelsea. 

  Everton were so dangerous without a natural striker (Anthony Gordon, Demarai Gray and Dele Alli appeared in the middle) that every member of the Chelsea defense and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy came to the visitors' aid at various points.However, an early and nasty lower leg injury suffered by Ben Godfrey was a major setback Everton could not ignore. 

  Both sides were groping into the new season when Everton suffered that Godfrey blow that was even worse than Calvert Lewin's six-week sacking. 

  Unfortunately there were a few points where everything could  have been avoided. 

  Godfrey's wrong back pass forced Jordan Pickford to run out of his goal  to avoid a corner.  

 He couldn't get hold of the ball before it was over, although the referees didn't notice him and play continued.Desperate for redress, Godfrey ran back and grabbed Kai Havertz, who caught the fumble but got his right leg trapped under him and  was injured so badly he immediately called for help. 

  It took nearly ten minutes of treatment  before he was taken out on a gurney and taken straight to the hospital. 

  Pickford was forced to save his England team-mate Mason Mount after play restarted but Everton, to their credit, were unfazed by the loss of their team-mate.
