Everton produced arguably their finest performance at Hill Dickinson Stadium so far to boost their European bid with a superb 3-0 win over Chelsea. On a memorable evening that showed the electric atmosphere that can be created at the Blues’ waterfront home, Beto gave his side a deserved lead just past the half hour when he raced onto James Garner’s sublime through ball to lift a delicate finish over Robert Sanchez. Jordan Pickford kept Chelsea’s array of attacking talent at bay with impressive stops either side of half-time from Enzo Fernandez efforts – helping him to his 100th clean sheet for the Club in the process. And that proved crucial as Beto grabbed his and Everton’s second on 62 minutes, Idrissa Gana Gueye intercepting on halfway, zooming down the right channel and passing inside to the striker, whose first-time shot squeezed under Sanchez and over the line. Beto then turned provider to wrap up three points with 14 minutes remaining, feeding Iliman Ndiaye who cut inside 14 yards out and curled a sumptuous finish into the top right-hand corner.
