In the 10th round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Tottenham away from home. In the first half of the game, Joao Pedro opened the scoring for the Blues, ending a two-month goal drought.

The last time Joao Pedro scored for Chelsea was on August 30, in the game against Fulham at Stamford Bridge. He scored 1 goal to help the team win 2-0. In the six Premier League games since then, Brazil has scored nothing per capita.
