Pedro Neto has scored early and late in the second half to lead Chelsea to a 2-0 win over Everton in a Premier League match marred by a serious-looking head injury to Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez. Neto slotted home the opening goal 44 seconds after the resumption and then added the second in the 90th minute. Chelsea handed Everton a first loss of the season after seven rounds and kept a first clean sheet in nine months in the meantime.

Martinez was heading to the hospital after receiving 10 minutes of treatment on the field and then being carried off on a stretcher following a head-on-head collision.
