Chelsea’s Pedro Neto Wins Goal of the Season as Final Whistle Sounds

London, England — Chelsea FC finished the 2024-25 season strong, winning eight of their last nine matches across competitions. The team secured a top-four finish in the Premier League and won the UEFA Conference League trophy.

A significant turning point in the season occurred during a match against Fulham on April 20. Chelsea was 1-0 down in the final ten minutes at Craven Cottage when substitute Tyrique George stepped up, scoring to equalize. However, Chelsea needed a win to keep their hopes alive. In the dying seconds of the game, Pedro Neto delivered, scoring a dramatic winner.

Neto’s last-minute strike was crucial and has now been voted as Chelsea’s Goal of the Season for 2024-25. The Portugal international received the ball in the center of the area, took a perfect touch, and fired a left-footed drive into the net, igniting celebrations from the away fans.

The goal garnered 27% of fan votes in a poll run through Chelsea’s Official App, beating out a free-kick by a teammate that received 24% of the vote. Palmer’s lob against Wolves took third place with 15% of the votes.

Throughout the season, Chelsea fans had the chance to select their favorite goal from a shortlist of twelve. This season’s voting reflects the close connection between fans and the team’s exciting goals, and Neto’s dynamic finish encapsulated everything Chelsea fans hoped for.

Pedro Neto’s Goal of the Season adds him to an illustrious list of past winners including Michael Essien and Eden Hazard. Congratulations to Pedro for this well-deserved accolade!
