Chelsea rookie scores consecutively

On the evening of August 10, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap shone to help Chelsea beat AC Milan 4-1 in the final friendly match before the 2025/26 season.

Pedro scored 5 goals in 5 matches for Chelsea.

In the 8th minute at Stamford Bridge, Pedro Neto made a pass like a set piece for Joao Pedro to jump high and head the ball to raise the score to 2-0 for Chelsea. This was the 5th goal of the former Brighton star after 5 matches for "The Blues".

Previously, Pedro scored to help Chelsea defeat PSG 3-0 in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final.

On the other hand, AC Milan's young talent Andrei Coubis had a disastrous day. Just 5 minutes after the opening whistle, this defender scored an own goal. Then, Coubis was sent off for a foul on Pedro when the striker ran down to face the goal in the 18th minute.

Chelsea took full advantage, creating trouble after trouble. In the second half, Estevao won a penalty and Liam Delap coolly increased the score to 3-0 in the 67th minute. AC Milan got a goal back thanks to Youssouf Fofana's decisive finish in the 70th minute, but all hope was extinguished in injury time when Delap completed his double, sealing a 4-1 victory.

The match showed Chelsea's complete dominance in both game and spirit. The sharp attack with Pedro, Neto and Delap made the patchwork AC Milan defense, which had suffered early losses, unable to resist.

Notably, Luka Modric made his Milan debut when he entered the field at the beginning of the second half but did not leave much of an impression.

Chelsea have had an impressive run-up to the new season, while AC Milan clearly have a lot of work to do, especially in defence.

PSG suffered a crushing defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. Early morning on July 14, PSG lost to Chelsea 0-3 in the match to decide the Club World Cup title.
