In the form of his life

When Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge last month, I mentioned how Pedro was finding his Barcelona form again. But now, it looks like he's way past all that!

The Spaniard scored twice, arguably both were deflected goals, but statistics won't tell you that! He was on the toes of the Bournemouth defenders from the word go.

He started pressing high up the pitch and was lively throughout the game. He made some incredible runs and was giving nightmares to the Cherries fullbacks.

Willian might as well accept the role on the bench because it doesn't look like Pedro is going to let go of the place anytime soon. Pedro though is suspended for the next game as he's accumulated 5 yellow cards this season.
