Chelsea took a major step towards the Premier League title with an impressive 3-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park yesterday. Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck the post for Everton in the second minute but Ronald Koeman’s side struggled to create real openings and Chelsea ran away with it in the second half. Two Chelsea substitutes combined for the third goal, four minutes from the end, when Cesc Fabregas slipped the ball to Willian for a simple close-range conversion. Meanwhile, Manchester United’s hopes of a top four finish suffered a blow on Sunday as relegation-threatened Swansea City came back for a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. United’s injury list already included top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, record signing Paul Pogba and key defender Marcos Rojo, as well as defenders Phil Jones and Chris Smalling and Mourinho was understandably concerned.
