Everton began life after Marco Silva with a victory at Goodison Park as Frank Lampard's high-flying Chelsea were shot down.

Silva was sacked this week following the Merseyside derby defeat at the hands of rivals Liverpool which consigned Everton to the relegation zone.

Club legend Duncan Ferguson took charge of the first team as rumours swirled of a return for David Moyes, and his first result was to beat fourth-place Chelsea 3-1 after goals from Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Follow all the action live:

Team News

Everton are set to continue to be without midfielder Fabian Delph and captain Seamus Coleman, while interim manager Duncan Ferguson may also be unable to call upon centre-half Yerry Mina, who picked up a knock against Liverpool.

Tammy Abraham is likely to be fit despite leaving the pitch in pain against Aston Villa this week. Ross Barkley should return to the squad with illness, while Antonio Rudiger is moving closer to action after a longer-term injury absence.

Reaction from Man Utd midfielder Scott McTominay:

"It was always going to be difficult against a top team and some world-class players but we were frightening on the break.

"That gave us a platform and we withstood some pressure in the second half. We knew we had a plan and that first 30 minutes epitomised everything we spoke about. It was nice to see that pay.

"This year is has not also been the case but that shows how when you work hard it comes off.

"The second half was tough, we had to withstand lots of pressure with the way they play.

"It is a sweet one and celebrating like that in front of the fans is a beautiful thing."
