CHELSEA fans want Pedro to win the Puskas award, FIFA’s goal of the season honour, after his incredible strike against Red Bull Salzburg.

The Blues saw off the Austrian side 3-5 in a pre-season friendly.
Christian Pulisic scored his first two goals for the club before Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi.
But the show was stolen by Pedro, who got Chelsea’s fourth goal after half time.
And footage has now emerged which shows he did it in style.

In the clip, the Blues are leading 3-1 against Red Bull.
Barkley is coming forward with the ball on the left wing.
Spotting Pedro’s run into the penalty box, the Englishman cuts the ball back.
But the Spaniard appears to have overshot his run – but the forward has a way around it.


Jumping off the ground, the 32-year-old flicks his left foot at the ball.
And Pedro manages to loop it out of goalkeeper Cican Stankovic’s reach into the top-right corner.
The Spaniard runs to the corner holding his hands up while the Blues fans celebrate.
This footage was shared on the club’s official YouTube channel earlier today, where it has been viewed more than 1.3 millions times.

And the Blues faithful wanted to see the forward’s effort honoured.
“And the Puskas award goes to… Pedro,” one supporter said.

Azpilicueta has come under fire in recent weeks and months after a stark deterioration in his performance level. He used to be Mr. Consistent, but is fast becoming a scapegoat among the Chelsea community.   he Spaniard may wear the armband at the time of writing, but his starting spot is far from guaranteed if he continues to falter, especially with the impressive Reece James on his way back from injury. After all, it’s only a matter of time before Frank Lampard himself recognises Azpilicueta has a liability. Even Graeme Souness, who is not the most analytical, has picked up on his errors. “Azpilicueta has been a brilliant defender for Chelsea but he doesn’t know Ndidi is there for the goal, he’s just watching the ball. He looks over his right shoulder and he stops that. He gave two goals away last ...

"Hendo [Jordan Henderson] has stepped forward into a more advanced role [at Liverpool] and he’s doing it really well. It has brought a sense of life out of him, a sort of energetic pulse. "[Andrés] Iniesta, historically, would be in the eight [role] picking up the ball, running, picking passes and sco...
