Royal Blue: The significance of Chelsea victory for Silva and a revealing Richarlison statistic

Marco Silva was shocked to learn that it had been over two years since the Blues had beaten a top-six side. But were the Royal Blue podcast panel? Host Phil Kirkbride, Dave Prentice, Adam Jones and Chris Beesley pick the bones out of the excellent 2-0 victory over Chelsea and wonder just how significant it was for manager Marco Silva. Phil also gets the lads to name a different man-of-the-match which, without giving the game away, does not include Richarlison, whose first season at Goodison is discussed, as is a stat about he compares with some of Europe's best young forwards. Also up for debate is Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty taking, Ross Barkley's return and whether Silva's task has been made harder this season by a better standard in the Premier League.
