Everton manager David Moyes conceded that his side turned in a disappointing performance after suffering a 2-0 defeat at home to Chelsea in the Premier League.

The result leaves Everton under pressure at Goodison Park, with Moyes acknowledging that the team simply did not reach the standard required on the day. The Toffees struggled to impose themselves on the contest and were ultimately punished by a Chelsea side that took their chances when they came.

For Chelsea, the victory represents another positive step in what has been a demanding Premier League campaign, as they collected all three points away from home against a side fighting for form.

Moyes, returning to manage Everton for a second spell, will be aware that performances like this one do little to ease the pressure building around the club. The Goodison faithful will expect an immediate response when Everton next take to the pitch.
