Solid Chelsea Keep Clean Sheet Against Everton in 0-2 Win

Chelsea took all three points from their Premier League Round 7 visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on 17 October 2026, defeating Everton 0-2 under partly cloudy skies and 13-degree conditions in front of 52,271 spectators. The home side, priced as heavy outsiders before kick-off at 22.0, struggled to find a foothold against a disciplined Chelsea rearguard marshalled by Emiliano Martínez's goal, while Xabi Alonso's side grew in control after a scrappy, card-strewn opening period. Pedro Neto's strike at the start of the second half broke the deadlock and his late second sealed the result, with Everton's five bookings underscoring a frustrating afternoon for David Moyes' men and referee Paul Tierney kept busy throughout.
