Premier League: Dominic Calvert-Lewin's Double Sink Chelsea Against Everton
Everton dealt a massive blow to Chelsea with a 3-1 win at home with a double scoring from Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Duncan Ferguson's debut as an interim manager.
This is coming just a day after Marco Silva was axed as the club's manager as the team struggled at the bottom of the table coupled with their ninth defeat of the season to Liverpool by 5-2 on Wednesday.
However, despite the possession by Chelsea, Duncan's men welcomed Blues into the game with an early goal from Richarlison who planted in a header for the opening goal in the 6th minute.

Toffees followed that stead in the second half and knocked in a double just minutes after the break from Calvert-Lewin. Mateo Kovacic soon pulled one back for Chelsea with a volley from 20-yard.
Calvert-Lewin seized a chaotic moment in the box inspired by Tom Davies brilliant dribble inside the area and set Toffees off for the win smacking a loose ball through the legs of Blues goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga late into the game. The loss makes it Chelsea's third in four league games against Everton.
The Scot, who replaced Marcos as the temporary head coach, had been in the team's coaching crew through four managers - Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, and Marcos - before he emerged as the favourite to handle the team in the meantime.
"It was an unbelievable atmosphere for myself but it's the players that need to take the pride and the praise," said Duncan. "I thought they were fantastic and we really got the players working well together. To get the early goal was really important."
Toffees have for the first time since 1994 win consecutive league games against Chelsea and the team's forward Richarlison has scored all three consecutive league games.
