Chelsea took a significant step in their hunt for a UEFA Champions League spot with a narrow 1-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge in Matchweek 34 of the Premier League.

The game's decisive moment came midway through the first half, as Nicolas Jackson latched onto a clever assist from Enzo Fernández and calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner past the Toffees' defence. It proved to be the only goal of the night.

Vitalii Mykolenko played the full 90 minutes for Everton, but the Ukrainian left-back and his teammates couldn't prevent the Blues from claiming all three points.
