2006: Everton 2-3 Chelsea

Didier Drogba's late long-range volley clinched three points for Chelsea following a thrilling encounter at Goodison Park.

Mikel Arteta's first-half penalty put Everton ahead but Chelsea levelled when Michael Ballack's free-kick hit the post and deflected in off the back of Toffees goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Joseph Yobo then headed Everton back in front. However, Frank Lampard equalised with a looping strike and Drogba hit an 87th-minute winner for the visitors.

Victory left Chelsea in second place on 42 points, just two points behind league leaders Manchester United. Everton stayed on 24 points in 10th place.
