Chelsea 3:0 Milan — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

João Pedro scored twice as Chelsea thrashed Milan 3-0 in a Club Friendly Game, setting up a meeting with Johor Darul Ta'zim on 9 August. The forward struck right on the stroke of half-time before adding a second within a minute of the restart, with Moisés Caicedo also on the scoresheet in a one-sided affair.

The game turned decisively in first-half stoppage time, when João Pedro headed in Caicedo's cross to give Chelsea the lead, and Milan defender Strahinja Pavlović was booked in the same minute. Within a minute of the second half, Pedro Neto teed up João Pedro for his second, and Caicedo then converted Roméo Lavia's pass on 51 minutes to kill the contest before the hour mark.

Chelsea had 18 shots to Milan's five and won seven corners to two, yet Milan actually edged possession with 51% overall and dominated the ball 60% to 40% after the break, when Chelsea scored twice from just one Milan effort. João Pedro was the standout, earning a nine-out-of-ten rating as a forward with his two goals, though the model offered no verdict on this fixture.
