  "account": "Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, marking the Toffees' first defeat of the season. Pedro Neto, the Argentine international, scored both goals for Chelsea, with the first coming inside the first minute of the second half after a first-half clash resulting in Emi Martinez suffering a head injury. Martinez was taken to the hospital after a sickening head clash with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, forcing Belgian goalkeeper Mike Penders into his first Premier League appearance. Despite the injury setback, Chelsea held firm, controlling the second half and finding their second goal through Neto's cool finish after Henderson's free kick was blocked. The match saw an array of yellow cards, with Ecuadorian midfielder Harrison Armstrong accumulating five yellow cards for Everton, while Thierno Barry struggled to make an impact for the hosts.",
