Pedro Neto hat trick powers Chelsea into FA Cup fifth round and joined by
Wrexham
HULL, England (AP) --- Pedro Neto scored a hat trick, including directly from a
corner kick, as Chelsea beat Hull City 4-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on
Friday.
Also, Wrexham reached the fifth round for the first time in 29 years after
beating Ipswich 1-0 in an all-Championship matchup.
Hull and Chelsea had met eight times before in the FA Cup and Chelsea
progressed every time. Host Hull never looked like halting that arresting run
as the Premier League side took control from the off.
Pedro Neto's drilled shot from just outside the box gave Chelsea the lead going

into the goal six minutes into the second period.
Young Brazilian Estvao made it 3-0 minutes later when he side-footed home from
12 meters out, and Pedro Neto finished a nicely worked fourth.
"Pedro Neto is an incredible player," Liam Delap, who recorded three assists,
told TNT Sports. "He is playing in a position he is not even used to but he

Both teams are in contention for promotion to the Premier League; Ipswich was in third place and hoping for an immediate return to the league it left last summer. Wrexham was seven points behind in sixth and bidding for a fourth consecutive promotion that would take it into the top tier for the first time in its 158-year history. "We started both halves well but we weren't able to get the goal," Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna told BBC Wales. "Second half we tried everything ... but we just couldn't get back into the game. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
