"Joao Pedro hit a stunning double as Chelsea rallied to knock Napoli out of the Champions League and secure a place in the last 16. The Blues looked like they were heading into next month's playoff round with a point from a fine end-to-end game. But former Brighton striker Pedro rattled in the winner to send Chelsea up to sixth place and a direct place throuugh to the last 16."
"Enzo Fernandez put them ahead from the spot but Antonio Conte's current side led at the break. Antonio Vergara span inside the penalty area to poke home before former Manchester United man Rasmuus Hojlund slammed in off the post. Chelsea introduced Cole Palmer at the break and he was involved in teeing up Pedro for a sensational left-footed shot from range."
Joao Pedro scored twice to complete a comeback that eliminated Napoli and secured Chelsea a direct spot in the Champions League last 16. Enzo Fernandez earlier gave Chelsea the lead from the penalty spot, but Napoli led at the interval after Antonio Vergara and Rasmuus Hojlund struck. Chelsea introduced Cole Palmer at half-time, and Palmer set up both Pedro goals, including a long-range left-footed winner and a second finish from another Palmer assist. The result moved Chelsea up to sixth and knocked Napoli out of the top 24 places in the competition.
