Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso described his side's 2-0 victory over Everton as professional and solid, a result that moves the team up to fifth in the Premier League table, according to BBC Sport Football.
Yahoo Sports reports that Pedro Neto scored in the 46th minute and later completed a brace by depositing a loose ball off a free kick. Emiliano Martinez and Mike Penders combined for a clean sheet, though Martinez suffered an apparent head injury while parrying a free kick. The injury caused a delay of over 10 minutes, and Yahoo Sports noted that Martinez's status is of significant concern. Jarrad Branthwaite also required treatment following what appeared to be head-to-head contact.
