Todd Boehly provides damning review of Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Everton

Todd Boehly cut a frustrated figure, as he gave a damning assessment of Chelsea's performance in their 2-2 draw against Everton on Saturday.

Graham Potter's side - who earlier this week discovered their UEFA Champions League quarter-final fate - looked set for a fourth consecutive win in all competitions after Kai Havertz put his side ahead from the spot.

However Everton pinched themselves a point late in the contest, courtesy of a first Premier League goal from academy graduate Ellis Simms.

The rapturous away end celebrations sparked further feelings of disappointment from the Chelsea faithful, with American owner Boehly among those to show their discontent following the full-time whistle.

In a video uploaded to Twitter by @TheBlueDodger, Boehly can be heard offering his blunt, three word summary of the contest.

As he walks down the backstreets surrounding Stamford Bridge, Boehly acknowledges the Chelsea fans before stating:

"Sh*t f*cking game."

Boehly has been a poignant character at Chelsea since completing his multi-billion dollar takeover of the club in the summer, spending in excess of $600m as he looks to make his mark on the Premier League.

Despite the sizeable investments - which includes a British record transfer fee for Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez - Chelsea sit a lowly 10th place in the Premier League, 11 points adrift of the Champions League places and 28 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.

With Champions League qualification via the domestic route looking increasingly unlikely, Potter's men may be forced to win this season's competition in order to book their place in the draw for the 2023/24 campaign.

The route to success isn't an easy one though, as reigning champions Real Madrid await Potter's side in a repeat of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League quarter finals.

It's a tie that doesn't sit well with La Liga President Javier Tebas, who launched an attack on Chelsea on Friday, accusing the club of 'clearly cheating' in the transfer market this season:

"Chelsea are clearly cheating by signing players on eight or nine-year contracts."

The comments come after Chelsea signed a number of players - including Enzo Fernandez, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Benoit Badiashile - to eight/nine year deals.

Many believe that the contracts have been handed out in order to allow Chelsea a route around Financial Fair Play rules, as the cost of transfers are drawn out across a much longer period than usual.

The two will meet in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on April 12th.
