João Pedro is quickly becoming one of Chelsea’s most influential attacking players, with the Brazilian continuing to make a decisive impact in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old scored again in Chelsea’s 2–2 draw with Hull City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, rescuing a point for the Blues with a second-half equaliser. He also provided the assist for Morgan Rogers’ opening goal.

The latest contribution takes João Pedro’s league tally to three goals and three assists in his first five Premier League appearances this season, underlining his importance to Xabi Alonso’s attack.
His impressive start comes shortly after he was named the Premier League Player of the Month for August, having scored twice and registered two assists during the opening month of the campaign.
