Chelsea moved ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League following their 2-0 win away from home against Burnley to kick off the return of domestic football.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pedro Neto<\/a> and Enzo Fernandez<\/a> scored late in both halves to secure all three points for the Blues, while City fell to defeat against Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Chelsea survived a contentious penalty call<\/a> which could have seen them fall behind, however made the most of their good fortune to turn in a brilliant display, despite the absence of key players such as Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian was clearly delighted after the game to have played a full 90 minutes for the first time in his Chelsea career, and impressed a number of his teammates with his display.<\/p>\n

This included international colleagues Estevao Willian<\/a> and Joao Pedro<\/a>, with them both taking to Instagram to praise his performance.<\/p>\n

Neto described Santos as \u2018unbelievable\u2019<\/a> after the game, with him stepping up to show that he can be a more than useful option in midfield for Enzo Maresca.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto on Andrey Santos: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAndrey Santos was unbelievable, we need this type of performance when there are lots of battles. It\u2019s always good to come back from the break with a win, we are looking forward to the big games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrey Santos stats vs Burnley<\/p>\n

With Chelsea missing Caicedo\u2019s defensive contributions, they will have been delighted with how the Brazil international stepped up in this regard.<\/p>\n\nAndrey Santos vs Burnley<\/td>\nTotal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nMinutes<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDefensive Contributions<\/td>\n17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nChances Created<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuels Won<\/td>\n7\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDribbled Past<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Santos formed a strong partnership with Fernandez in the middle of the park, and with another injury issue for Romeo Lavia there is a real chance for him to prove himself in some big games coming up.<\/p>\n

Lavia is set to be out for around another month, which will see him miss crucial games against Barcelona and Arsenal in the next week.<\/p>\n

It is likely that Caicedo is recalled for those fixtures, however the boss will have no issues utilising Santos if required following his excellent display against Burnley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea moved ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League following their 2-0 win away from home against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[28936,84298,11450,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-588576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-andrey-santos","9":"tag-estevao-willian","10":"tag-joao-pedro","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115598592012313938","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=588576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=588576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
