Chelsea fans are all in agreement about Pedro Neto after watching him in Conference League win vs Gent
Chelsea got off to the perfect start in their Conference League group stage with a win over Gent at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues ran out 4-2 winners over the Belgian side, with Enzo Maresca again able to get a good look at the rest of his squad depth.
It was a completely changed starting XI from the side who won 4-2 in the Premier League, with the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Renato Veiga finding the net.
It was Pedro Neto who had given the Blues some breathing space early in the second half though, latching onto a searching pass from Axel Disasi to lash home.
Neto has been knocking on the door for a start for a while now, and certainly did his chances no harm with his performance today.
Chelsea fans impressed by Pedro Neto
Chelsea fans were left very impressed with what they saw from the Portugal international.
One user said: “Pedro Neto is proving why Chelsea paid 60m for him.”
Another added: “Pedro Neto’s best performance in Chelsea Blue. This is only the beginning.”
A third claimed: “Pedro Neto’s work rate is every fans dream in a player.”
Simon Phillips added: “Deserved goal from Pedro Neto, looking better and better.”
Finally, The Blue Co Project said: “Pedro Neto and Mudryk are BOTH having outstanding games. This wing depth for Chelsea is outrageous.”
Neto vs Madueke for right-wing spot
Enzo Maresca now has a tough choice on his hands for who will start on the right wing for Chelsea when they return to Premier League action agianst Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Noni Madueke has held down the role in the league for the majority of the season so far, however has not found the net since his hat-trick against Wolves back in August.
Given the fact Neto joined for a large fee over the summer, there is no doubt expectation that he finds his way into the first team squad on a regular basis.
Based on his performance in Europe tonight, he could be securing that status sooner rather than later.
