Chelsea vs Everton: Everton manager Rafa Benitez said Thursday’s 1-1 Premier League draw at Chelsea was his most important result at the club since he took over at the end of June.

Chelsea vs Everton: Everton, who have won just one of their last 11 league games, were missing a host of key players due to injury and illness, with Demarai Gray, Salomon Rondon, Richarlison, Andros Townsend and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all sitting out the game.

When asked if the result was the most important during his time in charge at Goodison Park, Benitez said: “You can say that, because we have so many issues, with injuries, with illness.”

“The way the team played, reacted when we conceded, showed character. It’s a great point, not just the point but the way we claimed it. Everyone realised how important and how difficult it was afterwards,” Benitez added.

Chelsea vs Everton: Everton, who are 14th in the Premier League, next face 18th-placed Burnley on December 26.
