Everton played a different system against Chelsea this evening at Stamford Bridge. Ronald Koeman played with 3 central defenders at the back and 2 wing-backs just to become solid against a rampaging Chelsea side. But despite his tactics, Chelsea were victorious on the evening, and Antonio Conte is pleased with the way the team carried out their game plan.

He said: “Everton changed their formation and system, they tried to find a solution where it was man to man in every zone of the pitch. Every coach uses a system with different ideas.

“We have good players with great talent and we have to put them in the best situation to exploit their talent. There was a fantastic atmosphere with our supporters and we must continue to work together.” said Conte.
