PEDRO RODRIGUEZ produced a goal and an assist on his debut as Chelsea survived the dismissal of captain John Terry to prevail 3-2 over West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthornes on Sunday.

    A 21.2-million pound (US$33.2 million) signing from Barcelona earlier this week, reportedly snatched from beneath Manchester United’s noses, Pedro scored and set up Spanish teammate Diego Costa as Jose Mourinho’s side went 2-0 up.

    Having earlier missed a penalty, James Morrison scored twice in response for West Brom, but despite Terry’s red card for a last-man foul, Cesar Azpilicueta’s first league goal proved enough to give Chelsea a first victory of the Premier League season.
