Chelsea made four changes and one would have been cause for concern for Everton with Cole Palmer getting a start. Although Chelsea have not won a game with Palmer on the pitch since early August, Moyes has to remember the 6-0 thrashing where Palmer scored 4. Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana and Alejandro Garnacho also were back in for the Blues.
Everton put in a creditable effort, but there are signs their squad depth may not be enough to sustain a push for European qualification. Strikers Thierno Barry and substitute Beto offered little threat in west London, while Grealish was wasteful and no clear chances fell to Ndiaye.
Full time in May and Everton had beaten Southampton 2-0 in the final Premier League game at Goodison Park, their home of 133 years. A move to a state-of-the-art arena on Liverpool’s waterfront awaited, ushering in a new dawn. But first, it was time for goodbyes.
