Chelsea 0-0 Everton: 5 Hits and Flops

#1 Hit: Lucas Digne

Digne defended well and created promising chances too against one of the league's best sides

When questioned about his brave, but calculated move from Barcelona to Everton this past summer, Digne said he was excited for a new challenge in his career. Three months into his spell on Merseyside, this display is a memorable one - perhaps his finest defensive performance yet.

His positioning and capability to anticipate danger were both excellent. Chelsea could create chances from seemingly nothing and the 25-year-old reacted confidently, especially to thwart Willian with an important intervention midway through the first-half.

He produced some good deliveries into the box too and although the hosts saw more joy down the flanks later in the second-half, it was an inspired shift from a confident player: no wonder he earned a recall to the France squad last month.

Over the 90 minutes, his stats do not lie. Two key passes created, three tackles, interceptions and clearances completed, a blocked shot and necessary tactical foul high up the pitch, he was impressive and needed to be.
