"Joao Pedro was the hero, becoming the first player to be directly involved in four goals in a single Premier League game this season (three goals, one assist). He is also the eighth Brazilian to score a hat-trick in the competition."
"The Brazil forward was also credited with an assist for Cole Palmer's strike at Villa Park, where the visitors ended a three-match winless streak. Liam Rosenior's side found themselves behind after just two minutes when Ollie Watkins dummied Leon Bailey's low cross for Douglas Luiz to deftly flick beyond Filip Jorgensen."
"After Ollie Watkins was denied for offside following a VAR review, the visitors completed the turnaround in first-half stoppage time, with Enzo Fernandez releasing Joao Pedro, who neatly lifted the ball over Martinez. It was 3-1 in the 55th minute when Martinez's clearance from Reece James' cross ricocheted off Joao Pedro to Palmer."
Chelsea came from behind to secure a commanding 4-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park. Douglas Luiz gave Villa an early lead after just two minutes, but Chelsea responded effectively. Joao Pedro equalized in the 35th minute before the visitors completed their turnaround in first-half stoppage time with another Pedro goal. Cole Palmer extended the lead to 3-1 in the 55th minute, and Pedro completed his hat-trick in the 64th minute. Pedro was directly involved in four goals total, combining three goals with one assist for Palmer. The victory marked Chelsea's return to winning form after three consecutive matches without victory.
