Chelsea football club held Everton to a goalless draw as Bournemouth defeated Manchester United 3-0

Chelses maintained the large majority of possession and Everton sat back with ten men in the box.

Everton’s gameplan was helped greatly by the conditions, which were particularly awful at the start of the game: blustery winds and sheets of rain coming down.

Boos rang out after brilliant Bournemouth won 3-0 at Old Trafford for the second season running, with Manchester United’s fortunes continuing to yield mixed results under new boss Ruben Amorim.

Erik ten Hag was in charge the last time the Cherries put three goals past Man Utd on home turf a year ago, but a change of manager has not prompted a change of outcome, undone by similar failings and a clear weakness from set-pieces.

Bournemouth teenager Dean Huijsen glanced home a first-half opener when unmarked from Ryan Christie’s free-kick, before a quick-fire double in the second period – Justin Kluivert’s penalty and Antoine Semenyo’s finish two minutes and eight seconds apart – condemned the hosts to their seventh loss of the season.

Andoni Iraloa’s side leap into fifth in the Premier League table, while United slip to a disappointing 13th – the first time they’ve been in the bottom half of the table at Christmas since 1989-90.
