Most footballing rivalries come into being because of the proximity that the two sides have to each other or because they have repeatedly gone head-to-head for the biggest honours. With that in mind, it is hardly outrageous to suggest that there is no real rivalry between Chelsea and Everton, unless you want to talk about which one of them looks better in the colour blue. There was something quite curious about the first few times that the teams met in the FA Cup, if you want to go down that route. The first occasion came in 1915 when Chelsea won 2-0, winning by the same margin when they met in the competition in 1929.
Chelsea also won 2-0 when the teams met in 1949, weirdly enough. When they went up against one another in the January of 1938, Everton had left Stamford Bridge with a 1-0 win, which was the same scoreline that won by in the competition at home in 1956. The paid also met in the FA Cup in 1992, this time with Chelsea winning 1-0. The FA Cup encounter in 2011 finished 1-1, as did the replay, whilst the 2016 meeting saw Everton emerge as 2-0 winners. It is a strange aspect of football that sides can meet in the same competition numerous different times and yet rarely produce a different scoreline from game to game.
It’s Rare for Their Matches to Mean Anything
In truth, the times that Chelsea have been going for silverware have rarely coincided with when Everton have. The Merseyside club enjoyed a spell of success in the 1980s, whilst Chelsea’s period of winning things on a regular basis was mostly in the 2000s and 2010s. The times that Everton won the top-flight title saw them doing battle with the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal, whilst for Chelsea it was Manchester United and Manchester City that they had to do battle with. That being said, the pair did clash in the final of the FA Cup at the end of the 2008-2009 period, with Chelsea coming from behind to win the match 2-1.
Everton had defeated Macclesfield Town in the third round before knocking out their city rivals Liverpool in a replay in the fourth. They then took on Aston Villa to set up a quarter-final game against Middlesbrough, winning that 2-1. They made it into the final after beating Manchester United on penalties. Chelsea, for their part, had defeated Southend United, Ipswich Town, Watford, Coventry City and Arsenal on their way to the final. Louis Saha scored for the Merseysiders after just one minute, but an equaliser from Didier Drogba in the first-half followed by a Frank Lampard winner in the second was enough to secure them the win.
