Everton dragged Chelsea into the kind of physical, aggressive first half David Moyes appeared to want. Five bookings, confrontations all over the pitch and a committed defensive effort kept the match level, even if Everton offered little going forward.
Then Everton switched off. Just 43 seconds after halftime, Jorrel Hato escaped down the side Merlin Röhl and Ainsley Maitland-Niles had been selected to protect, and Pedro Neto put Chelsea ahead. James and Shan break down the lapse, Jordan Pickford's part in the goal and why Everton never found a convincing response.
They also debate Thierno Barry's finishing, Jack Grealish's role, the lack of midfield progression and Christian Nørgaard's difficult debut. The episode closes by asking how much Everton's first defeat should change the outlook for the season.
