Chelsea secured a 2‑0 victory over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Pedro Neto scoring both goals to give the Blues their first points of the Premier League season. The Portuguese winger opened the scoring in the first minute of the second half and added a second during the 11 minutes of added time.
Goalkeeper Emi Martinez was taken off after suffering a head injury early in the match, but the Blues maintained control and continued to press for the win. Despite the absence of their first‑choice keeper, Chelsea’s attack remained potent, and Neto’s brace proved decisive.
Everton’s defeat marks the club’s first loss of the campaign, a setback that comes after a series of draws and a win in the previous fixtures. The result leaves the Toffees with a difficult run of fixtures ahead.
With the win, Chelsea move up the table and keep their hopes of a top‑four finish alive, while Everton will need to regroup quickly to avoid further damage to their season objectives.
