Chelsea are 3-1 up! It’s just what they deserve for a really great away performance.

The Blues have been making chances all game, and Joao Pedro has been at the heart of it all. The striker should have scored his third moments before, when Alejandro Garnacho somehow failed to deliver the cross JP needed.

On the break again, the Brazilian decided to ignore Garnacho’s run and instead pass right to Cole Palmer. He in turn fed Reece James, whose cross led to a shot which Emi Martinez parried.

The ball fell to Cole Palmer on the edge of the box, and on his left foot with nobody around him he wasn’t going to miss.
