Everton Player Ratings vs Chelsea

Let's take a look at Everton player ratings from the match against Chelsea:

Goalkeeper

Jordan Pickford - 8.0: A commanding performance from the Everton number one. He made four crucial saves, including a couple of smart stops to deny Enzo Fernández. What we noticed was his excellent communication with his backline. He was quick off his line and his distribution was solid, ensuring a well-deserved clean sheet.

Defenders

Michael Keane - 7.5: A rock at the back. Keane was dominant in the air and made an impressive nine clearances. He kept things simple and was positionally sound throughout. From our perspective, it was a no-nonsense defensive display that nullified Chelsea's attackers.

James Tarkowski - 7.5: Led the backline with authority. The captain was composed on the ball and strong in the tackle. He even managed to get a shot on target from a set-piece. His partnership with Keane looked unbreakable on the day. A true leader's performance.

Jake O'Brien - 6.5: A slightly mixed bag for O'Brien but he did his job effectively. He was strong in the duel, winning most of his battles. However, he did seem a bit rushed in possession at times. Overall, a solid part of a defence that kept a clean sheet.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - 7.0: A tireless display from the left-back. He was a constant outlet on the wing, providing crosses and creating two chances. Defensively, he was diligent, though he was dribbled past a few times. His energy was a key component of Everton's dominance on the flank.

Midfielders

Dwight McNeil - 7.0: Provided good width and quality delivery before being substituted. He created a couple of decent chances and his work rate was commendable. A solid, if not spectacular, outing.

Iliman Ndiaye - 8.5: What a performance. Ndiaye capped off a fantastic display with a well-taken goal. He was a livewire all game, driving at the Chelsea defence and recovering the ball six times. We were really impressed by his energy and quality in the final third.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - 7.5: The engine in midfield. He was everywhere, making tackles, driving forward, and fighting for every loose ball. His energy was infectious and he played a huge part in Everton's midfield dominance. A true workhorse performance.

Idrissa Gueye - 8.0: The perfect defensive midfield performance. Gueye provided a crucial assist for Beto's second goal and made an incredible five interceptions. He broke up play effortlessly, providing a screen for his defenders. A tactical masterclass in midfield.

James Garner - 8.5: Classy and composed. Garner's perfectly weighted through ball for the opening goal was a moment of pure quality. He controlled the tempo of the game with a 96% pass accuracy and was a constant creative force. From our perspective, he was one of the best players on the pitch.

Forwards

Beto - 9.5: An absolutely sensational performance. Two goals and an assist tell only part of the story. The highest-rated player on the pitch, he terrorized the Chelsea defence with his power and movement. He was a constant threat, and his clinical finishing was the difference. A clear Man of the Match, he was simply unplayable.

Substitutes

Jarrad Branthwaite - N/A: Came on late to help see out the game.
Thierno Barry - N/A: A brief cameo after replacing the hero, Beto.
Merlin Röhl - N/A: Introduced for the final few minutes.
Tim Iroegbunam - N/A: Had little time to make an impact.

Manager

D. Moyes - 9.0: Got his tactics absolutely spot on. His team was well-drilled, motivated, and played with a clear plan. They exploited Chelsea's weaknesses perfectly. A masterful coaching performance that secured a memorable victory.

Chelsea Player Ratings vs Everton

Here are Chelsea player ratings from the Premier League fixture:

Goalkeeper

Robert Sánchez - 5.0: A difficult day for the keeper. While he made four saves, he looked shaky and conceded three goals. An error also led to a shot, which summed up a performance lacking confidence. He couldn't do much about the goals but didn't inspire any confidence.

Defenders

Marc Cucurella - 4.5: Struggled immensely against Everton's dynamic attack. He was defensively suspect and offered little going forward. It was a performance to forget for the Spanish full-back.

Jorrel Hato - 5.0: Found it incredibly difficult to contain Beto. Despite a high pass completion rate, he was part of a defensive unit that was completely overwhelmed. His error leading to a shot was a poor moment in a tough game.

Wesley Fofana - 5.0: Made a lot of clearances but that's because Chelsea were under constant pressure. He looked a yard off the pace and his late yellow card for a frustrated foul summed up his afternoon. Not the commanding presence Chelsea needed.

Malo Gusto - 4.0: Hooked at halftime, which tells you everything you need to know. He was ineffective in the first 45 minutes, offering nothing in attack and looking vulnerable defensively. A very poor showing.

Midfielders

Pedro Neto - 5.0: Anonymous. For a player of his quality, he had almost no impact on the game. He was substituted in the second half after failing to create anything of note. A disappointing afternoon.

Enzo Fernández - 5.5: Had a lot of the ball but his influence was minimal. He missed a couple of big chances that could have changed the game. From our perspective, he tried to make things happen but his final product was severely lacking.

Cole Palmer - 5.0: One of his quietest games in a Chelsea shirt. Everton's midfield completely marked him out of the game. He couldn't find his usual pockets of space and his frustration was evident.

Moisés Caicedo - 4.5: Completely overrun in the midfield battle. He lost possession frequently and was second-best in the duels. This was a game where Chelsea needed their big-money signing to stand up, and he didn't.

Roméo Lavia - 5.0: Missed a glorious headed chance in the first half. He worked hard but was largely ineffective against a superior Everton midfield. It was a tough day at the office for the young midfielder.

Forwards

João Pedro - 4.5: Completely isolated up front. He had very few touches and posed no threat to the Everton goal. A frustrating and anonymous performance before being substituted.

Substitutes

Alejandro Garnacho - 5.5: Came on at halftime but couldn't spark a comeback, picking up a yellow card.
Estêvão - 5.0: Brought on to change the game but had little impact.
Tosin Adarabioyo - 5.0: Replaced Caicedo but the damage was already done.
Liam Delap - N/A: Had very little time to influence the match.

Manager

L. Rosenior - 4.0: A day to forget for the Chelsea boss. His team looked tactically naive and unprepared for Everton's intensity. The substitutions had no effect, and he was completely out-thought by his opposite number. A very worrying performance.

Man of the Match

Sportsdunia's player of the match was Beto.

Worst Performer

Malo Gusto failed to make an impact.
