Pedro Neto struck a dramatic injury-time winner to hand Chelsea a crucial 3-2 victory, lifting them back into the Premier League’s top four. The Portuguese winger scored in the dying moments of the game, securing all three points for Mauricio Pochettino’s side in a thrilling contest.
“It was a special moment for me and the team,” Neto said after the match.
Chelsea had twice come from behind in the game, with goals from Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer cancelling out efforts from the opposition. Neto’s late strike not only sealed the win but also reignited Chelsea’s Champions League hopes as the season nears its climax.
The result moves Chelsea above rivals in the standings, with Pochettino praising his team’s resilience and fighting spirit. The manager highlighted Neto’s impact since returning from injury, calling the winger’s contribution “decisive.”
