Chelsea secured a crucial 2-0 away win against Everton, with Pedro Neto scoring both goals in the second half. The victory marked Chelsea's second consecutive win and their first clean sheet in nine months, signaling a positive turn in form under manager Xabi Alonso.
However, the match was overshadowed by a serious injury to Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine was taken to hospital for precautionary tests after a sickening collision with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. While Martinez was conscious when he left the stadium, the extent of his injury remains a concern for the club.
