"Pedro completed the turnaround by finishing off another intricate move in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time. Pedro was involved again as Cole Palmer lashed in Chelsea's third 10 minutes into the second half, and the Brazilian completed his first Premier League hat-trick nine minutes later."
