Having climbed to fifth place after matchday 6 and continuing the season undefeated, "Everton" managed to force "Chelsea", who were lower than them in the standings, into their signature duel-heavy football during the first 45 minutes. The match saw frequent clashes and stoppages, with Pickford only called into action near the end of the half. First, Caicedo's shot hit the crossbar, and shortly after, the England national team goalkeeper saved Pedro Neto's shot that was going under the crossbar.
The second half began with a quick goal from Xabi Alonso's team. Increasing the pressure, the London side won the ball back and achieved their goal with a swift counterattack. Rogers supplied the ball to defender Hato, who advanced down the left flank, entered the penalty area, and delivered a goalscoring pass to Neto, who was unmarked in the center. Shortly after, the Portuguese winger missed another good opportunity.
A worrying incident occurred in the 65th minute of the match. "Everton" earned a free kick towards the Londoners' goal: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall crossed the ball into the six-yard box, where visiting goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and home defender Jarrad Branthwaite collided. The two players clashed heads and fell onto the turf.
The "Everton" player got back to his feet immediately, but the Argentine goalkeeper's injury proved to be more serious, and he received medical attention for 10 minutes. The match was suspended during this time, and ultimately, the player was stretchered off the pitch and taken to the hospital. It is reported that he will now be unable to help his team for up to two months.
