The third and decisive goal of the game came from Pedro Rodiguez. The former Barcelona forward got at the end of a cross from Marcos Alonso to give Chelsea a two-goal advantage.

Prior to that, the 31-year also assisted Alvaro Morata's opening goal. While a couple of injuries have hindered his season, Pedro is clearly an important player in Maurizio Sarri's system. He has already scored 4 goals and given an assist in only 481 minutes of Premier League football this season.

While Willian is Sarri's first choice on the other side of Eden Hazard at the moment, Pedro's eye for goal should make him reconsider that decision. While Willian is almost played double the minutes of Pedro, he has only three goals to show for in all competitions. While Willian offers trickery and skill on the wing, Pedro's end product is better.
