Two second-half goals from Joao Pedro saw Chelsea come from behind against Napoli to finish in the top eight while knocking the Italian side out of the Champions League. Enzo Fernandez had opened the scoring with a penalty, but Antonio Vergara and Rasmus Hojlund put Napoli ahead just before half-time. However, Cole Palmer was brought on at the interval and set up both of Joao Pedro's second half goals. It was heartbreak for Napoli and ecstasy for Chelsea, who secured a place in the last 16. Palmer made an impact by feeding Joao Pedro, who shrugged off a challenge and smashed in an equaliser from the edge of the box in the 61st minute.
