In the 61st minute, Palmer crossed and Jackson scored an empty goal. Chelsea won at home, claiming their first win in the last three Premier League games.
Speaking after the game, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino said: 'I'm very happy with the team's performance. It's a good result against such a team that is very aggressive and has a deep drop in formation. ”
In the second half, we changed the positions of Palmer and Raheem Sterling in the hope that Palmer and Mudryk would be in a better position to face the goal. ”
I have a lot of confidence in the team, even when I lose. I really trust the players and I trust the club a lot. Now we have to capitalise on that momentum and face the League Cup 1 4 finals. ”
Palmer was able to connect the whole team and he was very good at scoring goals and assists. From day one, Palmer began to make important contributions to the team. ”
Nkunku, who joined Chelsea in the summer, has yet to play for Chelsea due to injury and was named in the squad but was not replaced by Mauricio Pochettino, who said: "We don't want to risk him and we want to give him a little more time to recover. ”
