Expdonaloaded Sports News; Pedro inspires Chelsea to a 3-2 win at West Ham

Chelsea 14-15 Home Kit (4)
NEW arrival from Bar­celona, Rodriguez Pe­dro, yesterday inspired Chelsea to its first Premier League win of the season at West Brom.
Pedro scored one and as­sisted another in the first half, while James Morrison scored twice after missing a penalty in a tight affair at the Hawthorns
Pedro played a starring role but John Terry was sent off as Chelsea claimed its first win of the Pre­mier League season with a thrilling 3-2 victory at West Brom on yesterday.
Chelsea signed Pedro from Barcelona on Thurs­day and the Spain forward made an instant impact at The Hawthorns.
The 28-year-old opened his account for the champi­ons with a deflected 20th-minute strike, but only after the returning Thibaut Cour­tois had saved James Mor­rison’s penalty six minutes earlier.
Jose Mourinho’s men made it 2-0 on the half-hour mark when Pedro set up Diego Costa for his first goal of the campaign, before Morrison redeemed himself by pulling one back.
Cesar Azpilicueta’s maiden Premier League goal then re-established Chelsea’s command of the match as it went in 3-1 to the good at half-time.
However, Chelsea cap­tain Terry – who was sub­stituted at half-time of last week’s chastening 3-0 loss at Manchester City – saw red early in the second pe­riod for hauling down Salo­mon Rondon.
West Brom, without Saido Berahino amid talk of an impending move to Tottenham, took advantage soon after through a superb Morrison header, but could not complete the comeback as 10-man Chelsea held on.
