# Last Time Out: Dominic Calvert-Lewin v Chelsea

**This article forms part of our Last Time Out feature series, which is where Football Transfer Tavern takes a look at how a player fared against his team’s next opponent the last time the two sides faced off.**

Make no mistake, the last time Everton took on Chelsea, Dominic Calvert-Lewin absolutely battered the west London club.

He scored two goals in that 3-1 win at Goodison Park back in December and his overall centre-forward play caused Kurt Zouma and Andreas Christensen problems all afternoon.

Aerially, the 22-year-old was superb. According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376285/Live/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Everton-Chelsea), he won 11 aerial duels, the most on the pitch. He finished the game as the website’s Man of the Match with a 9.3 match rating and came in for huge praise.

“I was hugely impressed with him \[Calvert-Lewin\] because he absolutely battered the two centre-halves, Zouma and Christensen, he didn’t give them a moment’s peace,” Alan Shearer said on BBC’s Match of the Day ([via Football.London](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/shearer-brutal-assessment-chelsea-stars-17382721)) after the match. “When you’re a forward, if you can’t win a header, then make sure the defender can’t win it either. He did it all afternoon.”

This season, Chelsea’s defence has been leaky. They have conceded [39](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/England-Premier-League) goals in the Premier League, more than the likes of Arsenal, Wolves and Crystal Palace, and have kept just [five](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/clean_sheet) clean sheets all campaign long — one of the worst records in the division.

Furthermore, the Blues look there for the taking if Calvert-Lewin can produce a similar performance to his one in the reverse fixture.
