Ellis Simms reacts after scoring 'dream' first Everton goal to rescue Chelsea point

Ellis Simms has described his late equaliser against Chelsea as 'a dream come true' after opening his Everton goalscoring account in timely fashion.

Summoned from the bench by Sean Dyche with 11 minutes remaining and the Blues 2-1 down, the 22-year-old displayed supreme composure to hold off Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly and slot past Kepa Arrizabalaga to earn a share of the spoils.

Loaned out by Everton in each of the last three seasons, Simms was recalled from his latest spell away from the club at Sunderland in January and handed a first Premier League start in last month's Merseyside derby at Anfield. Now off the mark with a first senior goal for the club, the forward admitted his patience has finally paid off.
