Everton delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Chelsea at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, marking the Toffees' first back‑to‑back home wins this campaign. Goals came from Beto, who netted twice, and a late curler by Iliman Ndiaye. The result snapped Chelsea's ten‑day misery that followed a heavy Champions League exit.

Prior to the defeat, Chelsea had suffered an 8‑2 aggregate loss to Paris St Germain and a home setback against Newcastle, leaving them four points shy of a fourth‑place finish.
