"I think it is a special night for me. I was waiting for this time. My hat-trick came at the right moment. After we lost against Arsenal, I think we showed them the comeback and how much we want to achieve. I work a lot to be ready for this moment and I have great players around me, so I try to always be in the right place, and today I could score three goals."
"Everyone wants to win every game. Today we showed how much we were frustrated from the last game and got an important three points away. In the whole season, we tried to be consistent but have dropped too many points at home, but now we need to look forward and do our best every game."
Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 4-1 in a dominant away performance, with Joao Pedro scoring a hat-trick and Cole Palmer adding a fourth goal. Despite falling behind early to Douglas Luiz's strike, Chelsea recovered through Pedro's double before halftime, then extended their lead through Palmer before Pedro completed his treble after the hour mark. Pedro became the first player directly involved in four goals in a single Premier League game this season and the eighth Brazilian to score a hat-trick in the competition. Chelsea leapfrogged Liverpool to fifth place, demonstrating a strong response to their previous loss at Arsenal.
