The story, neutrally told

Centre · 2Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 in the Premier League at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday 17 October, with Pedro Neto scoring both goals. Centre · 2The first half was goalless but feisty, with five yellow cards and several heated exchanges, including a brief melee after James Tarkowski shoved Moises Caicedo to the ground, which referee Paul Tierney broke up. Right · 1Chelsea went ahead 43 seconds after the restart when Jorrel Hato cut the ball back and an unmarked Neto swept it into the bottom corner.

Mixed · 2Midway through the second half, goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez collided with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall prepared a free-kick; play was stopped for around ten minutes or more. Mixed · 2Martínez left on a stretcher wearing a neck brace and receiving oxygen, and was taken to hospital, while Branthwaite was able to continue. Centre · 1Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso said Martínez left the stadium conscious and was undergoing precautionary tests in hospital; Chelsea were expected to issue a further update.

Centre · 2Mike Penders, 21, replaced Martínez and made his Premier League debut. Mixed · 2Neto added a second in the 90th minute, finding the bottom corner after Jordan Henderson's free kick was blocked by the wall, and Everton suffered their first defeat of the season. Mixed · 2The clean sheet was Chelsea's first in the league since January; outlets give the preceding run as 22 or 23 games without one.

Centre · 2Chelsea provisionally moved up to fourth, and Neto dedicated the win to Martínez, saying "This win is for him."

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
