Chelsea win 2-0 at Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium as Pedro Neto scores twice in the second half, giving Everton their first defeat of the season. Neto opens the scoring shortly after the restart and adds a second goal later, with Chelsea holding their lead to take all three points.
The match is overshadowed by a head injury to Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. Multiple outlets report Martínez suffers the injury during a clash with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and is taken off after a period of treatment, with reports indicating he is transported to hospital. Outlets also note Everton’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford underperformed at times, and Chelsea secure a Premier League clean sheet.
Across coverage, the emphasis differs between Chelsea’s clinical finishing and Everton’s season-opening setback, but all accounts align on the scoreline, Neto’s two goals, and Martínez’s injury as the key turning points.
