To prevent similar events in the future, the company is now monitoring all traffic and paging security if live internet access is detected.\nIf agents going rogue to attain their goals sounds familiar, models from OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies have been doing a lot of that lately.

Right now he\u2019s in the hospital doing the precautionary tests, so let\u2019s see,\u201d said Chelsea boss\nXabi Alonso\n.\nA first away win of the season lifts Chelsea above the Toffees into the top four and the Blues also recorded a first clean sheet in 23 Premier League games.\n\u201cWe needed one of these wins away. We have played very professional, very serious, looking solid. It is a very good win,\u201d added Alonso.\n\u201cWe need to get many more clean sheets for the rest of the league games but for sure the first one of the season feels good and now we need to keep going this way.\u201d\nAfter a slow start, a fiery-tempered encounter sparked into life when Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong launched into a tackle on Josh Acheampong for the first of five first-half yellow cards.\n\u2018This win is for him\u2019\nThat challenge also enlivened the home crowd and spurred Everton on to their best spell of the game.\nThierno Barry was guilty of another wasteful day in front of goal as the Frenchman planted a header from Jack Grealish\u2019s cross too close to Martinez.\nAdvertisement\nChelsea have made a habit of fast starts under Alonso, but it took until four minutes before half-time to threaten when Moises Caicedo blasted off the bar from a well-worked corner.\nEverton were furious that Morgan Rogers escaped a second booking just before the break after a thunderous clash with England teammate James Garner.\nThat proved to be a huge decision as the visitors this time flew out of the blocks at the start of the second period.\nJorrel Hato got to the byline and his low cross fell to Neto, who had time to control before firing low past Jordan Pickford.\nChelsea had not kept a Premier League clean sheet since January, but were rarely troubled by an Everton side short on forward options, despite the loss of Martinez.\n\u201cI just felt that Chelsea had that little bit more flair and ability which we didn\u2019t possess at the right moments today,\u201d said Everton boss David Moyes.\nThe treatment for Martinez threatened to halt Chelsea\u2019s momentum as they controlled the second half.\nBelgian Mike Penders replaced the Chelsea number one for his first Premier League appearance but had little to do bar dealing with a few desperate Everton crosses.\nAt the other end Pickford made a fine save to deny Joao Pedro.\nBut Chelsea did get their second goal when Neto coolly stroked into the bottom corner after Jordan Henderson\u2019s free-kick was blocked by the Everton wall.\n\u201cWe are really \u200c\u200cpleased. Shame for Emi but we wish you all the best. This win is for him,\u201d Neto told TNT Sports after his first Premier League brace.\n\u201cWe need a clean sheet, to be honest. I think we did a very good game. Emi deserved this, Mike did as well.\u201d","crawled_at":"2026-10-17T16:00:15.960190+00:00","image_url":"","published_at":"2026-10-17T15:25:27+00:00","source_credibility":7,"source_name":"Al Jazeera","source_sponsors":[],"subcategory":"","summary":"Argentinian international taken to hospital for precautionary tests after head clash with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite.","tags":["Sport"],"title":"Neto\u2019s brace fires Chelsea past Everton but Martinez head injury mars win","url":"https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2026/10/17/neto-brace-fires-chelsea-past-everton-but-martinez-head-injury-mars-win?traffic_source=rss"},{"_highlights":{"content":["An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Private credit's expanding role in financing AI infrastructure faced one of its clearest market <mark>tests</mark> this week as CoreWeave's bonds fell to distressed"],"summary":["An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Private credit's expanding role in financing AI infrastructure faced one of its clearest market <mark>tests</mark> this week as CoreWeave's bonds fell to distressed"],"title":["CoreWeave's Debt Stress <mark>Tests</mark> Private Credit's AI Financing Boom"]},"_score":18.201448,"author":"BeauHD","category":"tech","content":"An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Private credit's expanding role in financing AI infrastructure faced one of its clearest market tests this week as CoreWeave's bonds fell to distressed levels, raising questions about how lenders are pricing a boom built on chips, data centers and customer contracts.
