A jewel ! In November 2016, in the match between Chelsea and Tottenham for the 13th day of the Premier League, Pedro revived his team by equalizing after a magnificent technical sequence concluded by a sublime strike with the right foot. A goal that marked the 2016-2017 season of the English championship, which saw the Blues win the title ... ahead of the Spurs.
High class control
Led by Christian Eriksen in the 11th minute, Antonio Conte's players, who remained in a six-game winning streak, pushed to get the equalizer. And the light came from Pedro. Just before the break, with a nice vertical pass, Matic managed to find the former Barça player near the surface. The attacking midfielder of the Blues, back to goal, went straight back into the game with a small heel that allowed him to turn around. Facing the cages, he chained with a strike from the inside of the right foot. The ball, well curled, deceived the vigilance of Hugo Lloris and ended his race in the back of the net. Chelsea will win 2-1 in the final after a Victor Moses achievement in the 51st minute. A decisive victory in the title won by N'Golo Kanté and his teammates.
