Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson continued their personal duel at the top of Everton’s Premier League goalscoring charts to earn Everton a conclusive home success over Chelsea.
Sigurdsson scored Everton’s second and his 12th of the campaign after Richarlison had been fouled in the box by Marcos Alonso. The midfielder’s penalty was saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga but Sigurdsson held his nerve to latch onto the rebound and stroke home.
In that moment, the Icelander pulled back level on top-flight goals for the season with Richarlison, who brought up his dozen with a close-range header after Kepa had stopped a Dominic Calvert-Lewin effort four minutes into the second half.
