Neto Hat-Trick Highlights Chelsea’s Ruthless Edge in FA Cup Win at Hull—-Pedro Neto struck a stunning hat-trick as Chelsea cruised past Hull City to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup with a commanding 4–0 victory at the MKM Stadium.

Blues boss Liam Rosenior marked his return to his former club in style, overseeing a dominant display that also saw Estevão Willian get on the scoresheet.

Chelsea took control just before the break when Neto curled a superb 18-yard effort into the bottom-right corner. The Portugal international doubled his tally early in the second half, scoring directly from a corner to put the visitors firmly in command.

Estevão effectively ended the contest just before the hour mark with Chelsea’s third, and Neto completed his hat-trick with 19 minutes remaining to seal an emphatic win. Championship promotion hopefuls Hull rarely threatened and were unable to mount any meaningful response.

Speaking after the match, Liam Delap praised Neto’s influence despite being denied a first-half goal by goalline technology.

“We came here with one task and that was to win,” Delap told TNT Sports. “We showed we can battle and also play some good football, so we are happy.

“Pedro Neto is an incredible player. He is playing in a position he is not even used to but he showed his quality.

“I swear on my life I almost ran off — I thought it went in and was waiting for the referee to blow his whistle. It was silly from me but I thought it was in.

“We have our ways of applying pressure from corners. We have been so close a few times and it’s always nice to see them go in.”

Rosenior, whose tenure began in January with a 5–1 third-round win at Charlton, has now overseen eight wins and one draw in nine matches across all competitions, excluding a two-legged League Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal.

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich—-Reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain have secured their place in yet another UEFA Champions League final after overcoming Bayern Munich in a fiercely contested semi-final clash.

Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the 2026 UEFA Champions League final after edging Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final clash.

The decisive moment came early in the second leg, when Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembélé fired home from close range after being picked out by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, giving PSG a crucial lead that ultimately proved to be the winner.

Despite the fast start, the game soon became defined as much by controversy as by clear-cut chances. Bayern were left frustrated after Nuno Mendes appeared to handle the ball while already on a booking, but the referee opted against issuing a second yellow card.

Further anger followed when another potential handball incident involving João Neves went unpunished, with officials ruling that the ball had deflected off a teammate in the build-up—therefore not meeting the criteria for a penalty.

Bayern, managed by Vincent Kompany, dominated large periods of the match and created several opportunities. Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala both came close, while goalkeeper Matvéi Safonov was called into action multiple times.

The German side eventually found the net through Harry Kane in stoppage time, but it proved too little, too late as PSG held on to secure their place in the final.

The result extends Bayern’s wait for another European title to six years, while PSG now have the opportunity to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, just a year after claiming their first.

Attention now turns to the final on May 30, where PSG will face Arsenal. The showdown promises high stakes, with either a historic first Champions League title for Arsenal or consecutive triumphs for the French giants on the line.
