João Pedro's brilliant start to life as a Chelsea player continued with another goal, this time against Fulham at Stamford Bridge.
It also saw him again display a part of his game we might not have been fully aware of.
The Brazilian nodded in Enzo Fernández's corner deep into added time of a half the Blues were very much second best.
It was his second goal in the Premier League since his move from Brighton, and his second with his head. Not bad for a non-traditional no.9 and a player who had scored only seven headers in his career until this season.
His two Premier League goals alongside his three in the Club World Cup also see him join an exclusive club of strikers at the Bridge.
Only four players have scored 5+ goals in their first five starts for Chelsea across all competitions in the Premier League era:

Chelsea fans, as well as the legions of Fantasy Premier League managers who have picked him, will hope this is only the start.
