Pedro Hat-Trick Powers Chelsea to CL Spot

March 4, 2026 · NRK

João Pedro scored a hat-trick as Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 4-1, moving to fifth place in the Premier League and likely securing Champions League qualification.

Chelsea's João Pedro scored three goals in a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa, propelling the team past Liverpool into fifth place in the Premier League. The position should secure Champions League qualification for next season given the strong performance of English teams in European competitions this season.

Pedro, who now has 14 league goals this season, opened the scoring after Aston Villa took an early lead through Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian international is now a strong candidate for Brazil's World Cup squad. Meanwhile, Fulham lost 1-0 to West Ham, with Sander Berge starting and Oscar Bobb coming on as a substitute.
