"Joao Pedro said that Chelsea "cannot draw this sort of game in the Premier League" despite coming from two goals down to seal a share of the spoils with Newcastle United. Chelsea missed the chance to tighten their grip on a position in the top four after drawing 2-2 at St. James' Park, with Joao Pedro completing the Blues' second-half comeback. Nick Woltemade became the fourth player to score twice within the opening 20 minutes of a Premier League game to put Eddie Howe's team seemingly on course for a huge win."
"However, Chelsea halved the deficit four minutes after the restart when Reece James curled a stunning 25-yard free-kick over the wall and beyond the dive of Aaron Ramsdale. And the turnaround was complete in the 66th minute when Joao Pedro latched on to Robert Sanchez's long punt forward before finishing into the bottom-right corner. Indeed, Sanchez's assist for the Brazilian was the fourth time a goalkeeper assisted a Premier League goal for Chelsea, and first since Petr Cech for a Didier Drogba goal against Tottenham in December 2010."
