Pedro, who replaced William in the extra-time, scored the winning goal with a header to give Chelsea a 2-1 win against Leicester City in a tight FA Cup quarter-final tie. Thrilled at making an impact in the game, Pedro said that it was very strange to score with the head, but nonetheless, it’s good for his confidence in the team.

“It’s very strange to score with the head! It’s good for my confidence in the team and to help us pass to the next round of the FA Cup,” Pedro was quoted by www.chelseafc.com.

“It was a very difficult game for us. It’s always difficult here. They have very good players like Vardy and Mahrez and they are very good on the counter-attack. It was difficult for us to find the pass between the lines to Eden and Willian,” Pedro added.

“They defended very well, pressed high and were strong in defence with guys like Maguire and Morgan. It is very difficult to win against the team, but the most important thing is we did that and passed to the next round,” the Spaniard said, adding that he was also delighted for his compatriot Alvaro Morata, who had given us the lead before the break with a classy finish.
