    Premier League: Chelsea Scrape Past Everton Through Nicolas Jackson's Lone Goal

    By IANS News April 26, 2025 • 19:54 PM View: 531
    UEFA Champions League: Chelsea edged closer to UEFA Champions League 2025-26 qualification with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge, thanks to a moment of brilliance from Nicolas Jackson. The victory lifts the Blues into fourth place in the Premier League table, keeping them firmly in the race for Europe’s top competition.

    Maresca made just one change to the team that defeated Fulham, bringing in Romeo Lavia for his first start since January. Lavia slotted into midfield alongside Fernandez, who captained the side in Reece James' absence. Moises Caicedo filled in at right-back, with Chalobah and Levi Colwill continuing their partnership in central defence.

    In a match of limited chances, Chelsea dominated possession but struggled to break down a resolute Everton side. The breakthrough came just after the midway point of the first half. Trevoh Chalobah's interception in midfield sparked a rapid counter, with Enzo Fernandez swiftly finding Jackson on the edge of the box. The striker took two touches before rifling a superb shot into the bottom corner past Jordan Pickford, leaving the England goalkeeper with no chance.
