The Portuguese winger found himself unmarked in the box, swiftly sliding the ball into the net.\n\nHowever, the match took a dramatic turn in the 74th minute when a collision between Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and Everton's Jarrod Braithwaithe resulted in Martinez being stretchered off to the hospital. Mike Penders replaced the Argentine in goal, securing his place in the starting lineup for the remainder of the game.\n\nNeto sealed the victory in the 90th minute with a brace.
