Salzburg vs Chelsea result: Pedro scores wonder goal as Blues win pre-season thriller

Chelsea beat RB Salzburg in their final pre-season friendly of the summer.

New signing Christian Pulisic scored a rapid-fire first-half brace, either side of a Ross Barkley penalty, as Chelsea took a three goal lead into the break.

Jérôme Onguéné pulled one back for the hosts, only for Pedro to restore Chelsea’s three goal lead with a sumptuous finish.

In an exciting finish, Takumi Minamino pulled another goal back for the hosts, with Michy Batshuayi scoring another for Chelsea just three minutes later.

Minamino then scored with the final touch of the match as the game ended 5-3 to the Blues.
