Is Joao Pedro the Secret Weapon Chelsea Needs to Shake Up the Premier League Title Race?
Though Pedro did not celebrate his goals out of respect for Fluminense, where he began his career, the Chelsea supporters in America certainly did. His first strike came in the 18th minute after Pedro Neto’s cross was cleared to him on the left flank. Cutting inside, Pedro curled a beautiful shot past 45-year-old goalkeeper Fabio, giving Chelsea an early lead.
Pedro Neto, another standout performer, continued his strong form from the end of the Premier League season. His pace, aggression, and creativity unsettled Fluminense repeatedly in the first half. Though not guaranteed a starting role — given Chelsea’s famously deep and rotating squad — Neto’s status within the team has clearly improved.
