Neto and Alejandro Garnacho had few opportunities to make something happen on the wings, while Joao Pedro was left isolated up front. The Brazilian then started dropping even deeper than usual, which helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But other than an individual play early on getting the best out of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Neto didn&#8217;t do much in the first half. He was one of the few trying to do something different and create danger but was lacking end product and the team collectively as a whole also didn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key first half stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 shot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cross<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0 chances created<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-when-cutting-inside\">Best when cutting inside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enzo Maresca (or was it Willy Caballero?) then switched things up at the break. Striker Marc Guiu entered the fray with Joao Pedro going to the number 10 role. Jamie Gittens and Moises Caicedo also came on for Garnacho and Lavia, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>These changes gave Chelsea a lot more offensive power. Within 10 minutes, the Blues were up 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neto showed good things when cutting inside from the right in the first half. The early involvement taking Zinchenko on and a dangerous shot from long range. He was otherwise &#8220;relegated&#8221; to hugging the touchline and trying to get crosses into the box, with predictable movements out wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left, however, it makes more sense. In a circumstancial and isolated play, he attacked the byline down the left and whipped in a beautiful cross. Josh Acheampong headed it home and made it 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then scored Chelsea&#8217;s second with a free kick just three minutes later. Granted, Matz Sels could&#8217;ve done better. The shot had an expected goals value of 0.10 and just 0.12 xGOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1404782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-1229x1536.png 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-214x267.png 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-160x200.png 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-48x60.png 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025-32x40.png 32w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/10\/18144355\/Pedronetoheatmapstatsvsforest18102025.png 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-s-main-source-of-danger\">Chelsea&#8217;s main source of danger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blues focused most of their attacks down Pedro Neto&#8217;s right side while he was on the pitch.

Estevao &#8211; who came on for Neto and scored the winner against Liverpool &#8211; is another option. Both can also play alongside Palmer when he comes back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maresca still favours conservative lineups from time to time, but has plenty of alternatives to choose from in case he wants to field a more attacking starting XI. That could be the case when Chelsea host Ajax next Tuesday in the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually a left winger alongside Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto put in a man of the match performance filling in for the No.10 on the right once again.
