Watch: Pedro's atrocious miss overshadows slick goal

Pedro did his best Roberto Soldado impression Sunday when the Spanish winger missed an absolute sitter during the first half of Chelsea's FA Cup tie against Peterborough United.

With his side enjoying a 1-0 lead over the League One side, Pedro looked destined to increase Chelsea's advantage after some nice footwork to create space in the six-yard box.

However, the final product was abysmal as Pedro's attempt to roof the ball into the corner smacked off the crossbar.

It was reminiscent of Soldado's horrendous miss in the FA Cup against Burnley during the Spaniard's disastrous spell at Tottenham.

Perhaps Pedro can be forgiven considering he had already managed to open the scoring with an impressive finish into the top corner.
