“Such a threat” – The Chelsea player who ‘sold’ Aston Villa defender then ‘clearly won’ 1v1 | OneFootball

There was one Chelsea player who is being described as ‘such a threat’ after his performance against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League.

He did so well that he apparently won his 1v1, according to one pundit who covered the game.

Chelsea won the game 3-0 on the day, moving them above Manchester City in the league table and only below Arsenal due to fair play and not even goal difference. It is all so super close up at the top, and amazingly, much to the surprise of SO many who never predicted this at the start of the season, Chelsea are well and truly up there and challenging at this moment in time.

It was the best Chelsea performance against a top side that I have seen for a long time, years in fact. And it was certainly the best performance under new head coach Enzo Maresca so far.

Neto was a threat

Neto was good again for Chelsea yesterday

Former Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton was impressed with one of the tactics Chelsea used against Aston Villa on Sunday, as well as the big threat, Pedro Neto.

While on commentary duty for the BBC, Warburton said: “All credit to Chelsea’s press, they won the ball high. It was a great overlap from Marc Cucurella and Chelsea get their reward. The press is proving to be so effective.”

Warburton also had time to praise Neto during the game and call him such a threat, honing in on one moment against a Villa defender.

“Pedro Neto is such a threat,” Warburton said after one of Neto’s duels with Lucas Digne. “He sold Lucas Digne then and the 1v1 was clearly won. Neto has been a clear threat.”
