Minute-by-minute report: Can Frank Lampard boost Everton's survival hopes with victory over his former club? Join John Brewin to find out.

We’ve had a while to get used to the idea, yet it’s still hard to believe that Everton might be relegated. If Everton do drop into the Championship it will be the most shocking relegation in English football since Spurs in 1976-77. There’s an atmosphere of bristling defiance at Goodison Park, and you’d expect a ferocious start from the home side. “Hello from Pittsburgh!” writes Eric Peterson. “I’m a former sports radio announcer, so I’m a fan of not just the games but its many elite announcers. They can’t think like that today, even though Chelsea is literally the third toughest fixture they could face. For people of my age it’s not unusual to see Leeds, Newcastle or even Chelsea and Manchester City playing in the second tier. A week ago they went to Liverpool knowing that, all things being equal, they would lose. Most of us instinctively felt they belonged to a small group of clubs who were if not too good to go down then certainly too big to go down. Quality $hithousery from the Toffees’ fans.” Chelsea are unhappy because Havertz was fouled by Delph on the edge of the area just before that, but the referee Kevin Friend didn’t give the free-kik. 4 min Actually, Gordon and Gray are switching wings all the time. 8 min Mount whips a long-range shot just over the bar.

Everton 1-0 Chelsea: Follow for reaction as Everton claimed a vital win at Goodison Park.

Start your Independent Premium subscription today. 6 mins: After several misplaced passes, it’s Arsenal who bed down into a sustained period of possession. Elneny is stamped on by Zouma and that’s a painful one for the Arsenal midfielder. Mike Dean then blows for a foul on the keeper. Lampard needed to wait through seven minutes of additional time but the Toffees held on to claim a vital victory to boost their survival hopes. The England goalkeeper somehow kept the ball out as he scrambled across his goalline to reach Antonio Rudiger’s shot from close range.

Frank Lampard gets the crucial three points against former side Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel's side struggle to beat Jordan Pickford.

The German's impact on the game was very little. He hit both posts, in a really unfortunate fashion, in the second-half. Rudiger couldn't be his typical aggressive self after that, but equally, he did nothing wrong on the right side of the back three. His distribution was tidy enough, but overall, it was a relatively quiet game for the Senegalese shot-stopper. Chelsea applied pressure to the Everton goal not long after that, with Mason Mount seeing his strike hit both posts, while Antonio Rudiger and Azpilicueta were both denied by Jordan Pickford. When Everton and Chelsea went head-to-head on Sunday afternoon at a wet Goodison Park, there was a sense of tension around the stadium.

Chelsea boilover rocks relegation fight; battle 'no one could have imagined': PL Wrap.

Mason Mount’s shot came back off the inside of one post onto another before Pickford sprinted across his line to repel Azpilcueta’s follow-up effort. But Everton’s far greater need for the points shone through. Son scored a third in the 79th minute to kill the game, curling an unstoppable effort into the top corner for his 19th Premier League goal of the season before a late consolation for Kelechi Iheanacho. West Ham had one eye on the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, but David Moyes named a strong side and was rewarded with an equaliser before half-time from Jarrod Bowen. But they needed Jordan Pickford to show why he is England number one with a series of stunning saves to get over the line. Frank Lampard’s men remain in the bottom three, but narrow the gap on both Burnley and Leeds to two points with a game in hand to come.

Frank Lampard defied his former club to get three huge points, boosting 18th-place Everton to 32 points with a match-in-hand on Burnley and Leeds.

Everton only had 22 percent of the ball and the figure was 17 percent in the second half as Chelsea fought to get back into it. Pickford was off the charts with many of his five saves coming late and in fine fashion. The Blues play Wolves, Leeds, Leicester City, and Watford and Tottenham and Arsenal can’t take three points off each other — so it’s unlikely — but the FA Cup finalists have made a foregone conclusion a somewhat rational question. The goal that put Everton ahead sent the place into delirium and even late offside calls against Chelsea drew loud cheers from the crowd, which celebrated with vigor at the final whistle. 1. A whole club wins, celebrates: From the moment Everton’s bus pulled into the stadium to plumes of blue smoke, there was no question the players would show up to play Chelsea… but putting in a shift against Chelsea can still end in a loss on any day. The stadium was electric and rose and fell with each passage of play.

The Spaniard will have a point to prove to Lampard this afternoon after being frozen out by the Chelsea legend during his time in charge at Stamford Bridge. Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech join Lukaku on the bench. Contrastingly, for Tuchel and his players, today's contest at Goodison Park represents an opportunity to close in on Champions League football for next season.

Tuchel, though, will have known the type of team his players were going to face and surely would have addressed this in their pre-match chat. Cesar Azpilicueta was the latest Blues man to gift the opposition a goal. There were rumours of discontent between Lampard and Rudiger, and if that was true or not, the two shook hands at the end of the game. The former Blues boss, who left the club in January 2021, was quick to go up to his old players and embrace them. It was fair to say Chelsea supporters were not the most confident as they saw their team walk out of the Goodison Park tunnel to a deafening reception. This was a special day for Everton as well, to make things even more difficult for the visitors.
