It was Felix who eventually opened the scoring early in the second half, with his second goal for Chelsea since joining on loan from Atletico Madrid in January. Everton, however, responded well, with Abdoulaye Doucoure equalizing soon after.
The game looked to be heading Chelsea's way when Kai Havertz converted a late penalty to put them 2-1 up, but Everton refused to give up. And with just seconds remaining, Ellis Simms, who was on loan at Sunderland earlier in the season, scored his first goal for Everton to secure a point for his team.
The result was a crucial one for Everton, who extended their unbeaten run to three games and moved two points clear of the relegation zone. For Chelsea, it was a missed opportunity to cement their position in the top four.
However, the game was marred by homophobic chanting from some Everton fans. This was a sour note on what was otherwise a memorable match, with both teams giving their all in a fiercely contested encounter.
