Maurizio Sarri set a new Premier League record as Chelsea stretched their unbeaten run but there was little else to celebrate as his team dropped points against Everton.
Sarri, who has not lost in a dozen games and eclipsed Frank Clark’s start to his career at Nottingham Forest in 1994, watched his side dominate the second half without finding a way past Jordan Pickford.
England goalkeeper Pickford made a series of fine saves to deny Marcos Alonso, Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard.
Willian also went close but the visitors kept a clean sheet and returned to Merseyside with a point.
