Everton v Chelsea

Fooking back passes - stop it!!! Costa booked after a studs up tackle on Stek. Jags with a stupid back pass though.

Valencia with a shot from over 20 yards out, deflected wide for a corner. And Valencia had men with him in the box.

Valencia breaks up the counter attack from the corner, booked.

What have Lukaku, Valencia and DCL done to warrant still being on the pitch? Granted, the service has been poor.

And then Valencia tries to create something, not a bad effort.

Barkley with a great tackle, tries to play in Lukaku, snuffed out.

60 minutes played and no changes so far.

Lukaku with a poor effort after drifting in from the right. He had team mates in the box, but went for glory.

Barkley in a nut shell - he does very well to fend off Chelsea players but then takes way too long on the ball and loses possession.

Chelsea overhit yet another ball in the final third.

Oh my goodness - what a strike by Pedro. Wow. 0-1.

cracking goal tho

And this came back to haunt us. He found himself one on one with Jags and he took advantage of it. Great strike none the less.

Kone and Mirallas about to come on - we are saved!

I assume that Valencia and DCL are subbed.

Mirallas and Kone are indeed on for DCL and Valencia. 72nd minute.

Kone is due a hattrick

Kone does well and gets past his first 2 men but then tries and take on more Chelsea players and loses possession.

That's what I was thinking as well. Anything less would be a disappointment.

GOAL - Middlesbrough 1-1 Manchester City
Sergio Aguero (Pen)

Hazard booked for taking down Barkley. And this happened because Barkley tried to get around the entire Chelsea defensive line. Sigh.

Lukaku hits the freekick over the bar. Not too bad of an effort but I felt that wall was moving too early.

Gueye booked, he did take out Hazard's legs but dear me, Hazard did close to a dozen rolls on the ground.

Cahill, 0-2.
