Pedro Neto scored his first ever Premier League brace to secure three points for Chelsea on the road. Re-live this clash with our Everton vs Chelsea stats page.
Emiliano Martínez holding onto Jack Grealish‘s bouncing volley then needed to be tipped over the bar before Harrison Armstrong.
Chelsea made a trademark fast start after the break, though, with Jarrad Branthwaite, and though Everton tried to apply late pressure to substitute Jordan Henderson‘s free-kick hit the wall, but the Toffees did not clear their lines, and Neto reacted quickest to slot into the bottom-left corner.
Neto Finds His Groove on Merseyside
Chelsea have not had a lot of joy on their recent travels to Everton, winning just one of their previous nine such Premier League games (D2 L6) prior to this one, and they lost their first match at Hill Dickinson Stadium 3-0 last season.
However, Xabi Alonso’s side made it back-to-back league wins, scoring as many goals on Saturday as they did in their last nine visits, though they had to ride their luck at times, especially in the first half.
Having netted twice in the opening three minutes against Bournemouth last time out, it was a slow start by Chelsea’s standards, with this being the second-longest they have had to wait for a goal in the Premier League this season.
Tensions were high in the first half, with five yellow cards, though things settled down after the break, helped by Neto’s goal. He has now scored more Premier League goals (12) for Chelsea (76 appearances) than he did for Wolves (111 apps).
This also marked the first time Neto has scored twice in a Premier League game in his 187th appearance in the competition.
But while the goals – and ultimately the win – will please Alonso, it is their defensive work that will bring him the most joy as they kept their first Premier League clean sheet since January. They had conceded in each of their 22 Premier League matches beforehand, but finally got their first shutout since a 2-0 home win over Brentford.
