Jason Cundy was really impressed with ‘brilliant’ Chelsea player in Everton game

The first half of Chelsea’s game against Everton earlier was quite a boring one.

The likes of Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho were pretty quiet for Chelsea in the first 45 minutes by their standards.

However, there was one Chelsea star who impressed former Blues defender Jason Cundy. It was never going to be an easy game for the visitors, with the home side holding Arsenal to a 0-0 draw last weekend.

Before the match, Everton manager Sean Dyche praised Enzo Maresca, stating that he has done a good job so far this season.

Jason Cundy thought Pedro Neto was ‘brilliant’ in first half against Everton

Everton were able to restrict Chelsea’s attack really well in the first half of their Premier League tie at Goodison.

For Cundy, though, Pedro Neto was still a threat despite the 24-year-old not being able to help his side find the breakthrough.

Speaking about Neto after a good bit of play on the right, Cundy said on Chelsea’s official website(22/12/2024 at 14:40): “Brilliant. Even though it’s been sporadic, his impact on this game has been good.”
