Rafael Benitez believes he earned his most important result of his time as Everton boss following their 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
Toffees centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite marked his first Premier League appearance since July 2020 with the equaliser from an Anthony Gordon free-kick at Stamford Bridge after Mason Mount had given the hosts the lead.
Everton were particularly depleted up front, with Richarlison, Andros Townsend, Salomon Rondon and Demarai Gray joining their injury list as under-fire boss Benitez's woes continued to mount.
Travelling fans also unfurled a banner which read 'Benitez get out of our club' before kick-off but were toasting the Spaniard after a hard-fought albeit fortuitous draw for a side missing as many as 11 senior players due to injury and illness.
