Chelsea climbed back into the Premier League top four after securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The hard-fought win lifted Enzo Maresca’s side into fourth place, level on points with Nottingham Forest and edging one point ahead of Newcastle United, who face Ipswich Town later today. With Forest and Aston Villa involved in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend, the Blues are guaranteed to stay within the top five until at least Thursday, when Forest host Brentford.

The match-winner was striker Nicolas Jackson, who broke his 13-game goalless streak with a stunning 20-yard strike past Jordan Pickford in the 27th minute, sending the Stamford Bridge faithful into celebration.

Despite dominating most of the match, Chelsea failed to extend their lead, leaving tense moments late on as Everton pushed for an equalizer. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez produced vital saves, denying both Beto and Dwight McNeil to preserve the narrow win.
