There was one moment during Chelsea’s 3-0 win against West Ham United on Saturday where Pedro Neto was not too happy with Noni Madueke.

Overall, it was a great afternoon for Chelsea, who raced into an early lead after Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring in the fourth minute.

The striker then added to that shortly after before Cole Palmer netted just after the restart.

However, the Blues could have easily won by four or five goals, with Madueke guilty of wasting one good attack. It was something Neto was not happy about.

Pedro Neto not happy with Noni Madueke’s decision-making in Chelsea’s victory over West Ham United

Neto was dropped for Chelsea’s trip to the London Stadium, with Jadon Sancho coming in for the winger.

It was not a surprise after the impact Sancho made against Bournemouth last weekend, while Enzo Maresca has since confirmed that he sees Neto as a right winger.

However, Neto was brought on in the second half of Saturday’s game and took up the position on the left wing.

There was one moment, though, where Madueke found himself running down the left on the counter-attack before he fired a shot straight at Alphonse Areola.

Neto was actually open during that phase of play, free for the square, but Madueke went alone. It resulted in a frustrated Neto throwing his arms up in the air and questioning his teammate’s choice, according to football.london.

Last week, Madueke was raving about Neto, highlighting just how fast the 24-year-old is in transition.

While Neto can play on the left wing, again, Maresca plans to use Neto on the right this season.

It will see him go up against Madueke, who scored a hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers last month.

It should see the two push each other and really shows the depth of Chelsea’s squad, with Maresca having two players for each attacking position. Really, then, the Italian should have more than enough to get Chelsea back into the Champions League.
