LIVERPOOL: Maurizio Sarri endured a frustrating afternoon as his Chelsea side's second-half collapse saw them suffer a 2-0 Premier League defeat at mid-table Everton.
Arrizabalaga had saved a good effort from Andre Gomes seconds earlier and did likewise in keeping out Sigurdsson's 71st-minute penalty, awarded after Marcos Alonso stood on the foot of Richarlison. After six minutes, Ross Barkley and Gonzalo Higuain combined neatly to set up the chance which Hazard curled against the right-hand post, with the ball rebounding to safety.When Higuain was presented with another glorious opportunity just seconds later, denied by Everton centre-back Yerry Mina making a late move to put off his opponent, Chelsea looked well in control.
But his influential first-half display, and Chelsea's initial superiority, suggested he would enjoy a successful return, for half the game at least. Everton, showing far more belief than in the opening period, almost scored a second goal when Calvert-Lewin came within inches of meeting Lucas Digne's left-wing cross but Chelsea still had the firepower to threaten an equaliser.
