Liam Rosenior feels Joao Pedro is gaining confidence following his hat-trick against Aston Villa, which helped Chelsea strengthen their Champions League chances.
Pedro scored three goals and assisted one, significantly aiding Chelsea’s victory against a top rival.
With this performance, Pedro has now netted eight goals in his last eight league matches. Only Erling Haaland, Igor Thiago, and Antoine Semenyo have scored more than him in the Premier League this season.
Rosenior praised Pedro, highlighting the quality he displayed with his second goal of the match.
“He’s a top player,” Rosenior remarked about Pedro’s impressive performance at Villa Park.
“He’s gaining confidence. His hold-up play and the energy he brings to the team with his pressing and movement are important.”
“His left-footed goal was exceptional, and I’m pleased with the two tap-ins as well. He was in the right place at the right time, which is something we’ve been working on with him.”
“While he gets the hat-trick, it’s tough to highlight just one player. It was a fantastic team effort. Everyone contributed, including the back line and midfield – Moi, Enzo, Romeo when he came on, and Garnacho. It was a great overall team performance.”
