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

Pedro Neto's two second half goals for Chelsea secured an important away win at Everton on Saturday. The first strike came just 43 seconds after the restart and the latter one in the 90th minute as the Blues ended the Toffees' unbeaten run and recorded their first clean sheet of the season. Here's how I rated the players and you can see how you scored them below. Jordan Pickford: The England goalkeeper may be disappointed he did not keep out Neto's opener, but he later made several important saves. 5 Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Chelsea's goal came down his side and the summer signing endured a quiet afternoon at right-back. 5 James Tarkowski: A solid display from Tarkowski, who played a key role in the physical battle between the two sides.

6 Jarrad Branthwaite: The recently capped England international made a number of important blocks and tackles. 6 Vitali Mykolenko: The returning full-back produced an excellent cross to create a late first-half chance for Barry. 6 Harrison 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. 7 James Garner: The midfielder's set-piece delivery was below his usual standard, but he contributed well defensively and helped break up play.
