Everton delivered a commanding performance to defeat Chelsea 3-0 in their Premier League clash, handing the visitors a frustrating loss in their first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The breakthrough came in the first half when Beto capitalised on defensive lapses to calmly lift the ball over goalkeeper Robert Sánchez. Chelsea had chances to respond, with Enzo Fernández coming close on multiple occasions, but Jordan Pickford produced key saves to deny the visitors an equaliser before the break.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Everton maintaining control and extending their lead. Beto struck again after a midfield turnover, his effort slipping through Sánchez to make it 2-0. Chelsea attempted to fight back through sustained possession and attacking changes, including introducing Alejandro Garnacho, but they struggled to break down a well-organised Everton side.
Any hopes of a comeback were effectively ended when Iliman Ndiaye sealed the victory with a composed finish late in the game. Despite flashes of attacking intent from players like João Pedro and Cole Palmer, Chelsea were unable to test Pickford consistently in the closing stages.
The result leaves Chelsea heading into the international break on a disappointing note, while Everton will take confidence from a dominant display that showcased their attacking efficiency and defensive solidity.
