The former Spanish international offered next to no attacking threat

Pedro is one of the more experienced members of the current Chelsea squad, but has not started for the Londoners since their 1-1 draw with Leicester City on matchday 2 of the Premier League.

Against Valencia, the former Barcelona man was once again named on the bench, but he got a chance to enter the fray as early as the 15th minute after Mason Mount pulled up with an ankle injury.

Pedro is as capable of brilliance as he is of exasperating play in almost equal measure, and both sides of his game where brought to the fore in the match against Valencia.

For the entirety of his time on the field, the 32-year-old did not do too much of note other than a brilliantly lofted ball over the top of the Valencia defence which was expertly controlled by Willian but just needed better application.

Other than that, the former Spanish international offered next to no attacking threat, and did not make the most of the good positions he found himself in.

In total, Pedro had three shots against Valencia, with none hitting the target while just two of his six attempted crosses were accurate.
