Chelsea winger Pedro Neto was left impressed by his side's 6-3 victory over Leeds United.
Javi Alonso's team staged a remarkable comeback from 0-2 down in their League Cup clash at Stamford Bridge.
Double strikes from Danny Welbeck and Cole Palmer, alongside a debut goal from Valentino Barco and one from Neto himself, secured the Blues a place in the next round.
Neto came on at half-time, joining Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Reece James in a tactical shake-up that changed the course of the match.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Neto shared his thoughts on the frenetic nature of the match.
It was a bit mad, to be honest. I don’t know what to say. We don’t like conceding that many goals. We prefer to be scoring more.
The coach asked for fresh legs and fresh mentality. They caused us plenty of problems because they’re physically strong. It was a good test for us, and we remained calm.
The Portuguese international also commented on his own goal, acknowledging the effort of his teammates.
The game was tense. Morgan Rogers did a really good job. He did the hard part, and I just had to put the ball in the net.
Neto praised the positive atmosphere in the dressing room, reflecting on the team’s mentality.
It’s really joyful. The group has a top mentality. Everyone wants to have fun. Everyone plays with a smile on their face.
