Everton created seven chances against Chelsea, six were created by Gylfi Sigurdsson.
The most by an Everton player in a single PL game in over two years.

Everton are now four games unbeaten at Goodison Park against Chelsea.
Frank Lampard’s side last tasted victory there in April 2017.
(Un)happy hunting ground.
Champions Liverpool travel to Craven Cottage to take on a Fulham side who are hovering just one place and one point above the relegation zone.
The Reds have now won 3, drawn 4 and lost 4 of their last 11 away league games. Spurs, who currently sit above Liverpool at the top on goal difference, are in action in the match immediately before the Reds get underway and so Klopp will know by the time his side kick off whether victory would be enough to take them top.
Fulham have lost 3 of their last 4 league games and have lost 8 times in total already this season. The Cottagers were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City last time out. The main concern for Fulham will be how to keep Liverpool at bay, with the Reds boasting the best attacking record in the division this season compared to Fulham’s second-worst defensive record.
