Chelsea are now comfortable in fourth place after beating hard fighting Everton 2-0 with Kai Havertz and Jorginho on the scoresheet for Thomas Tuchel men.<\/p>\n

Iwobi was substituted in the 56th minute with Tom Davies by manager Carlo Ancelotti.<\/p>\n

Dixon noted that Iwobi had failed to deal with Marco Alonso, leaving the Spaniard to find space on the left and crossed the ball to Havertz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first time Alonso has managed to get away from Iwobi on the left,\u201d Dixon said on BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn this occasion, Iwobi just let him go. It was Iwobi just losing concentration \u2013 and Alonso takes full advantage\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
