Chelsea and Everton played out a goalless draw at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, and the affair was much more physical than expected.
The hosts picked up four yellow cards, while the visitors were booked thrice.
To the displeasure of manager Marco Silva, Everton players were at the end of some harsh tackles, with Theo Walcott and Gylfi Sigurdsson suffering heavy challenges from Marcos Alonso and Jorginho respectively.
The Spaniard only received a word from the ref, while the Italian got a yellow card.
Sigurdsson was later withdrawn after failing to shake off the knock and is now expected to spend time on the sidelines.
