A relegation-threatened Everton beat the Blues 1-0 last weekend; Bruno Lage's team were beaten 3-0 by Brighton in front of their own fans.
While Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Lampard in the dugout, could only watch on in frustration at Goodison Park, Everton manager Frank Lampard must have dreamed of a priceless triumph against the club that he gave so much to as a player but flattered to deceive for in the dugout.
Even though Richarlison's goal just after the break proved decisive, Jordan Pickford, who put his body and face on the line to deny Cesar Azpilicueta, deserves a standing ovation for his heroics in keeping the Toffees ahead.
It is impossible to imagine Chelsea failing to finish in the top four after flirting with the title earlier in the season, since the gap to Arsenal, a team on the rise, has now been reduced to only three points heading into the final stretch of the season.
Taking 12 points from 12 against Wolves, Leeds United, Leicester City, and Watford is essential for a team whose future has been thrown into doubt following reports that Roman Abramovich has changed his stance on unpaid loans. Despite this, some Blues supporters may already have their sights set on FA Cup glory after being pipped to the post in the 2020 and 2021 finals.

Tuchel must steer Chelsea to just a ninth home win in the 2021-22 Premier League season, but they haven't failed to score at Stamford Bridge in the top level since September, despite such off-field distractions.
on 8 April 2022, Bruno Lage of Wolverhampton Wanderers responds to the news.
Reuters is the source of this information.
Despite the fact that Chelsea's European destiny is still in their own hands, a spring collapse has left Lage's Wolves side scrambling to even make the Europa Conference League after their initial strong showing for an unlikely top-four finish in the Premier League.
Last Saturday, Brighton ruthlessly dismantled West Bromwich Albion at Molineux, with Alexis Mac Allister (two), Leandro Trossard (two), and Yves Bissouma (three) all scoring in a 3-0 victory.Watch LIVE match below:

Wolfsburg lost for the third time this season without scoring a goal, and Lage's team currently sits eight points behind West Ham United with a game in hand on the Europa League semi-finalists in eighth place in the Premier League standings.
To add insult to injury, only Everton and Norwich City have scored fewer goals on the road than Wolves this season, and their position as a European outsider is even more impressive given that Wolves have only scored two goals in their previous five games on the road.
In December, Chelsea held the visitors to a drab 0-0 draw at Molineux, and another goalless draw at Stamford Bridge could see the Blues post a three-game goalless draw streak against one league opponent for the first time in their history.
