45+4 mins: From this corner, chelsea earn yet another, with Yerry Mina putting the final inswinger behind. Everton eventually clear their lines.
45+3 mins: Mykolenko takes the ball out for what I think is Chelsea’s 11th corner. It’s the first down the left side and Ben Chilwell sends the ball into the mixer. He breaks to Reece James, whose shot goes out for… you guessed it – a corner.
45+1 mins: We go into added time and there will be at least eight minutes after that long injury delay for Ben Godfrey, who was stretched out earlier with a bad ankle injury.
43 mins: Raheem Sterling puts the ball in the net to chelsea but has his effort ruled out for offside. It’s good news for Everton in general and Jordan Pickford in particular – England’s best had fumbled a shot from N’Golo Kante in the way of Sterling.
41 minutes: Everton attack on their break and Demarai Gray tries to spot Anthony Gordon in acres of space. Cool as a cucumber despite being the only defender in the back, Thiago Silva pulls out a leg to intercept the pass.
40 mins: A Mason Mount cross in the Everton The penalty area is cleared by Mason Holgate, who has been busy since replacing Ben Godfrey.
38 mins: Anthony Gordon takes the ball off the goal line trying to put Doucoure on the line, but Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva combine to clear him before he can unleash a shot from seven or eight yards out.
35 mins: Kalidou Koulibaly is very unlucky to escape a booking after grabbing a handful of Anthony Gordon’s shirt and dragging the youngster to the ground as he tries to get away from him. He is penalized by Craig Pawson, who keeps his yellow card in his pocket.
32 mins: Yerry Mina slips in to block an attempt by Kai Havertz to put the ball in front of Everton’s goal. Corner for chelsea.

30 minutes: Alex Iwobi is penalized for knocking Raheem Sterling down while pushing the chelsea attacking in the back. Free kick for Chelsea, almost in line with the right edge of the penalty area. Nothing comes of it as Everton pull away.

27 mins: Kai Havertz is stripped of a run down the right wing before he can deliver a cross to Raheem Sterling, who was waiting in the middle.
25 mins: A header chance from Doucoure before that effort from Tarkowski means Everton have the upper hand in proceedings, but the stalemate remains unbroken. So far they have a chelsea corner to defend. They do it with minimal hassle.

19 mins: From this corner, chelsea win another then a third shot after shot. The ball passes to Mason Mount on the edge of the box and his low drive is saved by Pickford, diving low to his right. The ball went wide but the Everton goalkeeper took no risk.
17 mins: Ben Godfrey is carried away by the stretcher bearers, prompting more applause from Everton fans. Mason Holgate comes in for him and has a corner to defend. Turns out Pickford didn’t stop the ball from crossing the line after all.

15 minutes: The break in play continues as Godfrey continues to receive treatment from the Everton objective.
13 mins: After injuring himself trying to clean up a defensive mess of his own making, hapless Ben Godfrey is given oxygen and is about to be stretched out with what looks like a serious ankle injury. I hope it’s not too serious and that he recovers as quickly as possible.
11 minutes: Ben Godfrey appears to have been seriously injured in the collision and is currently receiving treatment. Mason Holgate begins his warm-up.
10 minutes: Jordan Pickford sprints back to prevent a no-look Ben Godfrey backpass from going for a corner. He hacks the ball clear but only to Havertz, who heads the ball into the side netting, colliding with Pickford and coaster Godfrey in the process.
9 minutes: chelsea enjoy a period of sustained possession which ends abruptly when Nathan Patterson overtakes Kai Havertz and deprives him of possession in Everton’s left-back area.
7 minutes: There’s not much to report in these early stages as the teams take the time to gauge each other.
5 minutes : Fix: Stripes on Chelsea away kit are not ‘light blue’, they are – see notes – ‘icy lion print’. Do lions have stripes? I always thought they were more of a zebra thing.
3 minutes: Abdoulaye Doucoure heads a cross into the CHelsea penalty area from the right touchline but is unable to direct his feeble effort towards goal. Edouard Mendy heads the ball wide.
2 minutes : Everton forward and Vitaly Mykolenko recovers the ball on the left wing but fails to cross. He plays it backwards.
