Pedro Neto scored twice as Chelsea ended Everton's unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The match began goalless in the first half, but Chelsea took the lead almost immediately after the restart when Neto converted a pass from Jorrel Hato and Morgan Rogers. However, the game's momentum was short-lived as goalkeeper Emi Martinez suffered a head injury during a collision and was substituted, with Mike Penders coming on as a replacement.
Neto sealed the win in the final minute of normal time, slotting the ball into the bottom corner after reacting to a loose ball inside the area. This result provided Chelsea with a back-to-back Premier League win following their 5-1 triumph over Bournemouth, while Everton suffered their first league defeat of the campaign.
