Everton 1-1 ChelseaPA





Chelsea failed to beat Everton at Goodison Park for the second time this season - and almost found themselves dumped out of the FA Cup.

Everton held the champions to a 1-1 league draw in October and this time the scoreline was the same and so was the Chelsea saviour - Frank Lampard.

David Moyes' men had taken the lead through a James McFadden first-half header, before the Scot went off with a facial injury after a crunching challenge from Carlo Cudicini.

By then Chelsea were fighting desperately to save themselves from what would have been only their fourth defeat of the season - and up popped Lampard to force a Stamford Bridge replay.

Everton, missing 10 first-team squad members even before McFadden's exit, produced another brave display to stand alongside the 1-0 victory they achieved over Arsenal here the previous week.

• McFadden in the wars

They have now gone seven games without defeat and at least their season is no longer heading for relegation, although they must view a replay as a dubious honour.

Everton's selection problems worsened before the match when striker James Beattie pulled out with a calf injury, with Moyes needing to put three untried teenagers on the bench.

Chelsea had their own problems with Eidur Gudjohnsen taken ill before the game, but Jose Mourinho was able to draft in Joe Cole and call Damien Duff onto the bench.

Everton were forced to use Phil Neville in the centre of defence and Mikel Arteta in a holding midfield role.

And they looked short of strength all over the pitch as Chelsea took almost casual control of the game, leaving Everton's midfield of Simon Davies and Leon Osman chasing as the ball was swept from one white shirt to the other and it took 15 minutes before Cudicini even touched the ball.

But David Weir and Neville held Hernan Crespo at bay and halted the darting runs of Arjen Robben.

Everton needed to up their tempo to at least make Chelsea work for their possession, and slowly the home side got themselves into the game.

Osman saw a shot deflected for a corner as Everton had a flurry of set-pieces, while Crespo saw another long-range effort saved by Nigel Martyn, making his 100th appearance for the Toffees.

Then Nuno Valente and Ferguson combined on 35 minutes to provide Kevin Kilbane with a header that was saved by Cudicini.

A minute later the same pair again linked and this time when Nuno Valente's cross came in from the left, McFadden rose to send a dipping header into the bottom corner.

William Gallas was booked for a foul on McFadden, and by now Chelsea had been knocked out of their stride.

Robben forced Martyn into a save at his near post with a fierce low drive soon after the break, and then Lampard's cross was headed into Martyn's arms by Cole.

Everton were furious when referee Graham Poll denied them a penalty after Cudicini had flattened McFadden with the ball largely incidental to the mid-air challenge.

The Scot took several minutes to get back to his feet and was eventually led off with blood pouring from his nose to be replaced by Gary Naysmith on 54 minutes.

Chelsea sent on Carlton Cole and Duff for Asier Del Horno and Maniche on 59 minutes before Crespo then hooked over from six yards with Everton appealing in vain for an offside flag.

Crespo was even more wasteful when Carlton Cole set him up and the striker lifted a shot wide of the far post.

Chelsea were now taking the proceedings more seriously and had Everton pinned back.

And on 73 minutes they equalised. Robben and Gallas combined down the left and the ball was played in for Lampard to finish calmly into the bottom corner.

Everton took off Davies and sent on 17-year-old Nigerian striker Victor Anichebe for his debut, before substitute Robert Huth was booked for a foul on Ferguson in injury time.

• McFadden in the wars

James McFadden's reward for the headed goal that held Chelsea in the FA Cup at Goodison Park was a broken nose and eight stitches in a cut shin.

McFadden nodded Everton into a 36th-minute lead and Chelsea needed an equaliser from Frank Lampard 17 minutes from time to force a Stamford Bridge replay.

But the Scot suffered a broken nose in a crunching challenge with Chelsea keeper Petr Cech and had to go off after a bad tackle from William Gallas.

Everton boss David Moyes said: 'I would think the fact that he scored will keep him cheerful despite the knocks he has had to take.

'I know there was talk about a possible penalty for the incident when James' nose was broken but I have had a quick look on TV and I am not so sure that it was a penalty in the end.

'I've only had one quick look and that is all the referee gets so I'm not going to argue.'

Moyes said: 'James was in the wars, but we couldn't take the risk of using a substitute in that spell. In that first half we got good crosses in and worked a good goal.

'We should have been able to take advantage of that and get a second, but for five minutes before the break we had to play with 10 men while James was being stitched up.

'We decided not to make the substitution then but let James get stitched up and hope we could hold out. If we had brought on a substitute then it would have left us so limited to do anything in the second half because we only had kids on the bench.'

But he added: 'I was very pleased with the players. Considering we were down to the bare bones they did ever so well.

'You know when you play Chelsea you are going to be under pressure for spells, but in the first half there were periods when we did really well even if after the break they really had us under the cosh.

'And you only had to look at the bench to see who they were able to put on - quality players who can change the game. We had Gary Naysmith and a few kids. They will have enjoyed the experience but they are really not ready to be thrown into something like that.'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho accepted the draw as a fair result, saying: 'We controlled the first half. Frank Lampard and Maniche had a lot of the ball, and when they scored it was out of context.

'But it was a great goal. The cross was fantastic and the header very good. But after the goal we started to give the ball away too much and some of the play was painful.

'We were poor at that stage but after the break it was very different. You just wanted the game to go into extra time, but sadly it's not the Carling Cup.

'We were confronted by an Everton side who fought for everything, like they always do on their own ground, so we are happy to accept the result

Despite winning the Manager of the Year award twice in three season, David Moyes has not always enjoyed good times at Everton.

Moyes guided Everton to fourth place in the Premiership in 2004/05 - earning a place in the Champions League qualifiers. But they failed to make the group stage when losing to Spanish side Villarreal.

It went from bad to worse a few weeks later when they were hammered 5-1 at Dimano Bucharest in the UEFA Cup. They failed to over-turn the deficit in the return leg meaning they were out of Europe by the end of September.

If there were problems in Europe, then things were worse in the Premiership. After enjoying such a fine domestic campaign the season before, they were woeful in 2005/06.

By mid-October, Everton had picked up only three points and scored just the one goal. They were left marooned at the foot of the table having lost six consecutive top-flight games.

In all competitions, they had lost all but one of their 12 matches.

That form catapulted Moyes to the top of the bookmakers' list for the sack race.

After such an outstanding season, it appeared Everton had lost their shape and their confidence. Moyes wasn't helped by the snubbing he received from many of his transfer targets, including Emre, Michael Owen and Scott Parker.

Moyes had earmarked a career in coaching at an early age, being only 22-years-old when he took his first coaching badge.

The Scot's playing career saw him start out with Glasgow Celtic - he played in Europe and won a championship medal - before moving on to Cambridge United, Bristol City, Shrewsbury Town, Dunfermline Athletic and Hamilton Academicals.

He would eventually land at Preston North End, the place where his managerial qualities initially came to the fore.

Moyes took over form Gary Peters at Deepdale in 1998, at the age of 34, after being a member of the coaching staff. He managed to stave off the threat of relegation to the Third Division and then changed the playing style from long-ball to a neat passing game.

From there on PNE would be on the up and in his first full season reached the play-offs before losing out to Gillingham.

Moyes' achievements at Preston won plaudits from all quarters, and when Brian Kidd left Manchester United to take over as manager of Blackburn Rovers it was widely believed he would move to Old Trafford.

But Moyes had no desire to become Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant, despite attempts by the United boss to lure him away.

In 2000 Preston would reach the First Division, promoted as champions, a level they had not played at in almost two decades. Just 12 months later they would lose to Bolton Wanderers in the play-offs - a whisker away from a place in the Premiership.

The club's preparations for the 2001/02 season were hit went Moyes was involved in a fight with two of his players, Paul McKenna and Tepi Moilanen, on a pre-season tour of Austria. Preston started the season badly but did recover.

It would always be only a matter of time before Moyes left Preston for a shot at the top flight. He was linked with vacant positions at Middlesbrough, Southampton and West Ham United before taking the Everton job in March 2002.

One of the main attractions for Everton will have been the way he transformed Preston on a shoestring budget.

A few months earlier, the Blythswood-born manager had committed himself to a new five-year contract with Preston, but the board did not stand in his way when his interest in the Everton job became apparent. A clause had been inserted to allow him to speak to bigger clubs.

Former manager Walter Smith had endured a tough time at Goodison Park. With very little money to spend and the supporters becoming increasingly disillusioned with his tenure it was almost inevitable he would lose his job. Smith was one of the men Moyes had turned to for advice when cutting his managerial teeth.

Everton were placed precariously towards the foot of the Premiership table, and Moyes' first task was to make sure they didn't drop through the trap door.

David Unsworth scored within 30 seconds of his first game at the helm against Fulham, and Moyes would then win three of his first four matches to pull the Toffeemen away from the wrong end of the table.

With a full pre-season behind him on Merseyside and the chance to bring in a few faces of his own, Moyes had began to turn the club around in earnest. A fine run saw Everton in second place by November 2002, and he would win the Manager of the Month award.

Everton had looked on course for a place in Europe all season, but their Champions League challenge tailed off in the final two months. To add insult to injury, Blackburn pipped them to the final UEFA Cup spot, with the Toffeemen, who finished seventh, losing to champions Manchester United on the final day.

Moyes was named Manager of the Year.

The softly-spoken Glaswegian has a reputation as a real thinker. He demands supreme fitness from his players and total commitment. Also a strict disciplinarian, Moyes will punish any player who speaks to the press without permission or who breaks any club rule - however minor.

He also won plaudits for his handling of teen sensation Wayne Rooney, eager that the player's career wasn't ruined by over exposure in his formative years. Although Rooney won a handful of England caps in his debut season, Moyes remained very protective.

Moyes endured a tough 2003/04, in which Everton finished just above the drop zone. A tally of 39 points was woeful, and they were lucky that neither Leeds, Leicester or Wolves could reach the magical 40 point barrier.

The summer of 2004 continued to be traumatic. Moyes lost a whole host of players, either sold or released at the end of their contracts, leaving Everton with a threadbare squad for 2004/05.

The club's financial troubles meant Moyes struggled to find players who were both within his price range and willing to move to Goodison Park.

And to make it even more difficult, a boardroom battle placed a huge question mark over his future.

But his problems didn't end there. After a superb Euro 2004 campaign, Rooney became a wanted man. Both Newcastle and Manchester United moved in for the player in August, with rumours that Moyes would quit if the young striker was sold below his valuation.

Rooney eventually left for Old Trafford, but his exit galvanised the squad rather than causing divisions.

Everton continued to defy the critics, becoming infamous for picking up 1-0 wins where they would snatch the opener and then work like dogs to protect the lead.

Tim Cahill, a summer capture from Millwall, was one of the finds of the season. The Aussie's ghosting runs into the box won many points for Everton.

The pundits continued to write Everton off for fourth place and Champions League football. However, they held off Merseyside rivals Liverpool for a crack at Europe's elite.

Moyes built the side's success on strong team play, closing down the opposition and hard work.

For the second season in three, Moyes was named the Manager of the Year.

However, the 1-0 wins dried up in 2005/06, turning into 1-0 defeats. That, coupled with the disastrous displays in Europe, put Moyes under immense pressure.

After such an impressive results in 2004/05, it was unthinkable Moyes could be out of a job within months. But football is a fickle business.

Moyes' time at Everton has been defined by peaks and troughs. He will have to get the Toffees out of the latest slump if he is to avoid the sack.
