Radamel Falcao hails Pedro partnership

Radamel Falcao praises the partnership he shares with Chelsea teammate Pedro, after the Colombian striker scored his first goal for the Blues.

Radamel Falcao has hailed the partnership he shares with his Chelsea teammate Pedro, after the former Barcelona man set up the on-loan striker for his first goal for the Blues.

Falcao is now looking to get the West London side back to winning ways, after his headed effort was not enough to prevent a shock 2-1 loss at home against Crystal Palace before the international break.

However, despite the defeat, the Colombian striker has praised the understanding he shares with another one of Chelsea's summer signings.

"Pedro knows my traits and I know him as well and for that reason, in the last match, I started to run forward because I knew Pedro was going to cross," Falcao told Chelsea's official website.

"In the Premier League, some teams use a lot of crosses and others not too much, but I think we have very good attackers with that strength and we can use that for winning games.

"It is nice to score with my head again. I think it is one of my skills, one of my scoring strengths."

Pedro completed his £21m move from Barcelona to Chelsea in August.
