Neto stars but who was subdued? - player ratings for Everton v Chelsea

Jordan Pickford: The England goalkeeper may be disappointed he did not keep out Neto's opener, but he later made several important saves. 5Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Chelsea's goal came down his side and the summer signing endured a quiet afternoon at right-back. 5James Tarkowski: A solid display from Tarkowski, who played a key role in the physical battle between the two sides. 6Jarrad Branthwaite: The recently capped England international made a number of important blocks and tackles. 6Vitali Mykolenko: The returning full-back produced an excellent cross to create a late first-half chance for Barry. 6Harrison Armstrong: The academy graduate raised the volume inside the stadium with a robust challenge that appeared to earn a harsh booking in the first half. He later cleared an effort off the line. 7James Garner: The midfielder's set-piece delivery was below his usual standard, but he contributed well defensively and helped break up play. 6Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: The attacking midfielder struggled to create clear openings but did provide a dangerous cross that led to a chance for Grealish. Also produced a good second half cross from a free-kick into the box. 6Merlin Rohl: Introduced as a surprise starter, Rohl defended diligently and provided a threat going forward. He registered Everton's first shot and produced an excellent block to deny Rogers in the second half. 7Jack Grealish: The winger made a quiet start but grew into the game and created Everton's best chance with an inswinging cross for Barry. 6Thierno Barry: The French striker will feel he should have done better with a first-half header and later struck another effort straight at the goalkeeper during a frustrating afternoon. 5Emiliano Martinez: The Argentina goalkeeper was fortunate not to be punished after taking too long over a goal-kick and conceding a corner. He also made a number of saves, although none proved particularly demanding. Martinez was later carried off on a stretcher after a collision with Jarrad Branthwaite in worrying scenes. 6Josh Acheampong: Acheampong looked a threat going forward but was booked for a late challenge on Grealish in the first half. 6Maxence Lacroix: One of Lacroix's best performances since joining Chelsea. He saw a header from a corner cleared off the line and defended impressively throughout. 7Levi Colwill: A relatively quiet afternoon for the centre-back, who was rarely troubled defensively. 6Pedro Neto: The Portugal winger scored 43 seconds after the restart after threatening shortly before half-time with a long-range effort. He was involved in much of Chelsea's attacking play but picked up a needless booking for dissent. Neto took his second in the 90th well after a blocked free-kick landed at his feet inside the box. 8Jordan Henderson: Influential throughout, contributing in all areas of the pitch. His set-piece delivery was strong and he also saw a shot blocked. 7Moises Caicedo: Relished the physical battle in midfield and came close to scoring with a superb first-time volley that struck the crossbar just before half-time. 7Jorrel Hato: The Dutch defender, Chelsea's only change from last week's win, provided the assist for Neto's first goal and was composed in possession. 7Cole Palmer: A relatively quiet display by his standards, although he looked dangerous whenever he got on the ball. He tested the goalkeeper early on and later lifted an inventive effort over the bar. 6Morgan Rogers: The club-record signing showed his competitive edge throughout. His clever backheel played a key role in the build-up to Chelsea's goal. 7Joao Pedro: A rare subdued performance from the Brazilian, who had enjoyed an excellent run of form coming into the match. Pedro squandered a good chance to seal victory in the 86th minute. 5Subs:Mike Penders (on 74, Martinez): In less than optimal circumstances, the young Belgian goalkeeper came on for his Premier League debut for an injured Martinez. Penders made a good punch from a cross with his first action in the 84th minute but flapped at the next one before making a simple save. 6Marco Palestra (on 90+1, Hato)Danny Welbeck (on 90+1, Joao Pedro)Romeo Lavia (on 90+1, Caicedo)Geovany Quenda (on 90+11, Neto)Subs not used: Fofana, Barco, Nicoll-Jazuli, Estevao, Quenda
