Neto scores twice as Chelsea win at Everton

On October 17, 2026, Chelsea defeated Everton 2-0 in a Premier League match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Pedro Neto scoring both goals. However, the game was overshadowed by a serious incident involving Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who suffered a concussion after colliding heads with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite during a free-kick attempt. Martinez was stretchered off and taken to the hospital for precautionary tests, leaving the match status uncertain until his condition improved. Despite the injury setback, Chelsea secured their first clean sheet in nine months under manager Xabi Alonso, who praised Neto's performance and contributions to the team's victory.
