Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 as Neto scores twice and Martinez is injured

Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 away in a Premier League match on October 17.

Pedro Neto scored in the first minute of the second half and again in the 90th minute to secure the win.

Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was taken to hospital after a head collision with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

Martinez was carried off after several minutes of treatment, and substitute Mike Penders made his Premier League debut.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper helped Chelsea keep their first league clean sheet in 23 matches.

Everton had started the season unbeaten, but the defeat ended that run.

The available reports give no further update on Martinez’s condition.

The big moments have belonged to Pedro Neto. He's definitely an unsung hero in this Chelsea team.

Chelsea get a bit of good luck there. I love that Pedro Neto didn't smash it there. It's a great finish. So composed.
