The Spain winger who opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge after just 30 seconds, before goals from Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante completed the rout over Jose Mourinho’s side.

‘It’s the way to show we can fight for the title,”he was reported on Sky news.
Pedro started in the absence of Willian, who is on compassionate leave following the death of his mother, and he is pleased to have manager Antonio Conte’s trust.
“The work is perfect. The same work continues.”
Three consecutive wins – combined with three successive clean sheets – may have lifted confidence in west London, but defender David Luiz has warned his team-mates not to get carried away with their good run.”Every match is three points,” he said. “It doesn’t matter the opponent. It’s good to win in this way. It’s good to also keep the feet on the floor, with humility.
“The important thing now is to rest a bit and then start to think about West Ham.”
