Chelsea`s Jackson Seals Vital Win Over Everton

Chelsea`s narrow 1-0 win over Everton featured Jackson`s first goal in months, boosting their Premier League standing.

Chelsea clinched a vital 1-0 victory against Everton in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on April 26, 2025. Nicolas Jackson scored the decisive goal in the 27th minute, expertly assisted by Enzo Fernández, with a precise low shot that found the bottom corner past Everton`s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford. This marked Jackson`s first goal in four months, providing a much-needed boost for the team.

The match saw Chelsea dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities, with standout performances from Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer, although Palmer`s struggles in front of goal continued. Everton`s defense, bolstered by Pickford`s impressive saves, kept the scoreline tight, particularly with crucial stops against Beto and Idrissa Gueye.

Chelsea`s manager, Enzo Maresca, watched from the press box due to a one-match ban, as Everton pressed forward in a tense final 15 minutes. This win propelled Chelsea to fourth place in the Premier League standings with 60 points, just one point behind Manchester City, who have a game in hand due to FA Cup commitments. Everton remained in 13th place. Other Premier League results included Manchester City`s 2-1 win over Aston Villa and Arsenal`s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace. Chelsea`s performance was characterized by Jackson`s crucial strike and solid defensive work, with goalkeeper Robert Sánchez making vital saves to secure a clean sheet.
