""I bigged Kayode up for his one-on-one battle with [Alejandro] Garnacho, but that's not one he'll want to watch back", former Premier League defender Curtis Davies told BBC Radio 5 Live. "He wildly swung at the ball. [Joao Pedro's] onside by a toe. It hits Joao Pedro, who takes a touch and rifles it in with his left foot from about eight yards out.""
""The goal put Chelsea on course to rise above their opponents into sixth in the Premier League, although they were grateful to goalkeeper Robert Sanchez for an excellent save to stop Tosin Adarabioyo's block from going in as an own goal after the defender tried to thwart Mikkel Damsgaard's effort.""
Joao Pedro scored his first goal in five matches to put Chelsea ahead in the 26th minute after a Michael Kayode clearance deflected off Enzo Fernandez. A lengthy VAR check ruled the strike onside. Robert Sanchez made a crucial save to prevent Tosin Adarabioyo's attempted block from becoming an own goal following Mikkel Damsgaard's effort. Liam Rosenior managed his first home Premier League game and aimed to end Chelsea's five-match top-flight winless run after recent cup results. Cole Palmer and Reece James returned from minor injuries, Moises Caicedo returned from suspension, and Rosenior made five changes including Adarabioyo, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap.
