(Reuters) - EVERTON 0 CHELSEA 0Chelsea found no chink in Everton's defensive armour as the Premier League champions were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on Saturday. Everton are now unbeaten in five games under new manager Sam Allardyce who has steered the Merseysiders to ninth place having looked in real relegation trouble earlier in the campaign. The draw left Chelsea in third spot after 19 games with 39 points, two points behind Manchester United and 13 behind runaway leaders Manchester City, both of whom play later. Everton deserve credit but we deserve to win," Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said. Even when Pickford was beaten, the crossbar came to his rescue to spare team mate Williams' blushes.
