Everton analysis - Blues find powerful new weapon as Yerry Mina wind up works wonders

The Chelsea coach might as well have turned around and gone home when faced with the sea of Evertonians standing between them and Goodison Park in the very last leg of their journey to the stadium.

Blues fans were desperate for everyone to come together in a real show of unity in the face of the adversity the club are already facing, and they delivered in style. Thousands upon thousands of supporters lined the streets to welcome their players to the ground and give them a raucous reception before they had even took to the pitch.

Thomas Tuchel after the game admitted that Chelsea knew what was coming. If they weren't already aware before they arrived for their night at the Hilton in the city centre, a couple of rude awakenings through the night would no doubt have given them the shock to the system that this was going to be a hostile atmosphere.

Goodison Park was always going to be the key for Everton in this relegation fight, but the power of these supporters continues to amaze. However many times they're knocked down, however many times they're told that their side have no hope - they band together and find a way.

The noise as the teams walked onto the pitch was ear-splitting. The first challenges of the game were met with the roars of a baying crowd hungry for three points.

Even when Chelsea gained the upper hand of possession and began to create chances, there wasn't exactly any feeling of inevitability in the stands. There was still the belief that everything was going to fall into place for Everton this time around.

That's ten points taken from the last 12 available on their own turf, and it's far from the first time Chelsea have wilted under the pressure of a raucous Goodison.

This was arguably the best atmosphere
