160. Everton 0–2 Chelsea | Grown Up
Chelsea grow up at Everton: a 2-0 win that ends the hosts’ unbeaten start and delivers a first league clean sheet in nine months. Pedro Neto’s second-half brace takes the headlines, but the bigger story is a side that stands up to a physical away day and looks like men rather than boys. Josh Acheampong has his best game in a Chelsea shirt, Jordan Henderson and Moises Caicedo hold the base, and Xabi Alonso’s three-week break looks to have tightened the defence. Emi Martinez goes off after a clash of heads, with jaw surgery to follow, Mike Penders gets his chance, and Reece James is out for months. — ★ ★ — Chapters 0:00 Grown up at last: Everton 0-2 Chelsea reaction 2:30 Emi Martinez’s injury scare 3:50 Mike Penders steps in 5:00 Josh Acheampong comes of age 7:00 Lacroix and Colwill: building a partnership 8:30 Hato at left back 10:00 Henderson and Caicedo run the base 11:30 Palmer, Rogers and Joao Pedro: the work rate 15:30 Pedro Neto, reborn 17:30 Alonso’s three-week break 19:00 Joe’s take: a serious Chelsea 20:30 Martinez’s jaw surgery and the road back 23:30 Penders: the big opportunity 29:00 Reece James out for months 31:30 Henderson, Tchaikovsky and the squad minutes problem — ★ ★ — Meet the Hosts Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who’ve been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
