“Micky and Djed came into my office yesterday. They said they wanted to say sorry and didn’t want it to look bad, they were frustrated, they didnt wan’t it to look bad or disrespectful. They were just frustrated with the result and performance and booing during the game.”

Joao Pedro says he owes Chelsea teammate a dinner after 1-0 win against Tottenham

Chelsea attacker Joao Pedro has claimed that he owes Moises Caicedo a dinner following their 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur. Caicedo turned provider for the only goal of the game as Pedro ended his eight-game goalless streak.

Enzo Maresca's side dominated the game for most parts but it was decided by just one goal scored by Pedro. Caicedo stole the ball from Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven and set up Pedro's goal in the 34th minute. Following the game, Joao Pedro told GOAL:

"Moses, everyone knows, is a top, top player. It is a pleasure to play with him, and when he pass to me on the pitch, in the half-time I said I need to invite you to dinner, so yeah I just want to say thank you to him. Thanks to the team for the support. I scored but I still need to improve. I had a lot of chances, but we won the game."

He added:

"I think I needed this goal after a long time I don't score for Chelsea and I think the team expect (goals) from me, so I just want to say thank you to Moses, thank you to the team and now we need to enjoy this victory."

Joao Pedro joined Chelsea this summer in a £60 million deal from Brighton and has scored six goals and produced three assists in 16 appearances so far. He played a key role to help the Blues win the FIFA Club World Cup in the summer
