    Diego Costa has a pop at exactly that but John Stones is in the right place to block his shot. Chelsea have to settle for a corner.

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    That is Nemanja Matic's first Premier League goal since he scored in Chelsea's 6-3 win at Everton in August 2014. I think he likes playing the Toffees, don't you?

    Anyway, back on the pitch and Chelsea are still doing all of the attacking. Everton holding firm at the moment, so it might take another wonder goal to force an equaliser.

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    We have got a game on our hands now. Chelsea have got their tails up and force a succession of corners after Eden Hazard sees his effort deflected wide. 

    They take the last corner short but eventually get a cross in, which John Terry flings himself at and sees his header zip just over.

     "The crowd have been silenced.  

    "Nobody closed Nemanja Matic down - he had so much time and the Everton players seemed to be looking for him to make a pass. 

    "But he really thumped the ball and it absolutely flew in. Suddenly Chelsea are back in the game."

    Nemanja Matic (36 min)

    Hang on, let's not write Chelsea off just yet. They are back in this game after a goal that really was out of nothing. Nemanja Matic looked up, all of 30 yards out, and let fly with a brilliant swerving strike that soared past Tim Howard and into the corner of the net. A brilliant goal that gives the champions hope.

    Dominic Kennedy:  Mourhino has to go. He is not only affecting the team with negativity but also the rest of the club. Own up to your mistakes

    Derrick Dontoh: A potential fifth defeat in eight games is so not Mourinho-esque. Chelsea need inspiration from him.

    Dennis Ethan:  John Stones is so good at keeping possession albeit being under pressure from the opponent. Fantastic defender!

    Here is Steven Naismith again, looking to get on the end of a Romelu Lukaku header inside the box. Branislav Ivanovic is there this time, though, holding off the Toffees forward before going to ground to make sure he wins a free-kick.

    Look away now Chelsea fans. The defending champions could be 11 points behind leaders Manchester City if they lose at Goodison Park and City win at Crystal Palace later. It's early days but that's a big gap...

    Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to toil. They have had slightly more possession in the first half hour or so - 55% to 45% - but they are yet to do very much with it apart from win a couple of corners... here comes another one, which Arouna Kone heads clear.

    John Stones looks like he is enjoying himself too, neatly turning away from Pedro inside his own area. Pretty much everything about this Everton performance has been impressive so far.

    "Everton have had four clear goal-scoring opportunities since the 18th minute. 

    "And that's against supposedly one of the best defensive teams. Chelsea have given away so many goals recently and they've given two more away today, already. That tells you the real story. They've got a problem."

    Steven Naismith keeps on doing damage to Chelsea and here's his second goal in graphic form... not so many touches this time, but the same end result.

    Josh Hammond: Naismith, you beauty! (That's a neutral's view too!)

    Alex Haworth: I predict Mr Mourinho will be on his way before the end of the month.

    Chelsea have got to find a way back into this game but they are still yet to force a save from Tim Howard - his biggest test so far has been fielding a fierce back-pass by John Stones.

    Cesar Azpilicueta did just get behind the Everton defence but his shot was deflected for a corner. That is as good as it has got for the visitors' attack so far.

    "I don't think Asmir Begovic had much chance in getting that but my word. Everton lead by two.

    "Everton played a string of passes in the build-up to that goal and there wasn't a Chelsea shirt in sight. Has there ever been a substitute come on and scored two goals in five minutes? Not bad that, really, from Steven Naismith."

    Wow. Talk about a super-sub... Everton are 2-0 up and it is Steven Naismith again. He smashes a fizzing shot into the bottom corner of the net after a neat build-up involving Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley.

    Chelsea are in big trouble now..

    At the moment it is all Everton. Arouna Kone brings a brilliant diving save from Asmir Begovic after rising unmarked to win another header. Moments later, James McCarthy brings another full-stretch stop from the visitors' keeper with his shot from 25 yards.

    Right then, time to see what Chelsea have got in response. They are yet to test Tim Howard.
