Everton held Chelsea scoreless at Stamford Bridge, denying their hosts the chance of briefly returning to the top of the Premier League pile.
Blues boss Maurizio Sarri extended his unbeaten start to a record 12 Premier League games but his side were frustrated in a bad-tempered encounter with the Toffees.
England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was impressive as he denied Marcos Alonso, Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard clear goalscoring chances, while there were seven bookings dished out in what became a tempestuous contest following an off-the-ball incident between Bernard and Antonio Rudiger on the stroke of half-time.
Chelsea's Jorginho and Alonso were perhaps fortunate in escaping with yellow cards for challenges which caught the ankles of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott respectively.
The home side had to wait 41 minutes to register a shot on goal, Alonso denied by Pickford.
Morata went close after the interval, with the visiting stopper again alert amid a scramble, while Sigurdsson stung the palms of Chelsea's goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga at the other end.
Alonso hit the post late on as Chelsea looked to steal all three points, but the Merseysiders held firm for their point at a ground where they haven't won a league game in 24 years.
Chelsea are 13/8 to win their next game against Tottenham at Wembley on 24th November. Spurs are 8/5 while the draw is 12/5.
