Everton FC has gone up on visiting Chelsea FC, a corner kick from Diniyar Bilyaletdinov finding Louis Saha for the simplest of goals. Beating John Terry on the play, Louis Saha put a header from just inside the six yard box down and to the left of Petr Cech, giving Everton a 1-0 lead with just under 30 minutes to play.
Everton FC Vs. Chelsea FC: Louis Saha Puts Toffees Up Near The Hour Mark
The goal comes as Everton has had clear control over the half’s first 15 minutes, with Chelsea allowing the Toffees to build through the right before trying to their luck crossing the ball. Most of those crosses were easily dealt with, but yielding a corner just after the hour mark, Chelsea would allow Everton to take the lead.
A left-footed ball from Bilyaletdinov swung in and dropped near the middle of goal, five yards from the line. Driving hard enough to freeze Cech, Bilyaletdinov’s bell left Terry to deal with the chance. Saha’s run, however, took Terry too far under the ball, and when the Everton striker pulled back and rose for the ball, his chance was uncontested. Low, into goal, giving Chelsea’s `keeper and post guards no chance, Saha gave Everton the lead.
