    Raheem Sterling squandered a prime scoring opportunity in the game, opting to shoot straight at Jose Sa instead of passing to either Cole Palmer or Jackson, who would have had an open goal ahead of them.

    Despite Jackson’s ongoing struggles to adjust to the demands of the Premier League, he has managed to net seven league goals this season. Chelsea manager Pochettino views this goal tally as a commendable achievement for the 22-year-old in his inaugural campaign in England.

    “When you compare Jackson, it’s about managing expectations. Considering other strikers who arrived at his age and the goals they scored, he is performing,” remarked Pochettino. He emphasized that blaming Jackson for the team’s challenges would be unjust.

    Amidst the disappointments, Pochettino found a silver lining as Christopher Nkunku made his long-awaited Premier League debut for Chelsea, securing a late goal.

    “I’m delighted to see Nkunku score, highlighting his importance to our team,” expressed Pochettino. He stressed the need to avoid putting excessive pressure on Nkunku, given his prolonged absence from the game. Pochettino strategically introduced him after 60 minutes to facilitate a gradual return.

    Nkunku’s goal showcased his quality as a scorer, and Pochettino expressed confidence in his potential to become a pivotal player for Chelsea. Despite the disappointment of not securing a victory in the game, Pochettino acknowledged that Nkunku’s contribution was a positive development.

    Pochettino acknowledged that Nkunku needs time to fully integrate and hit top form but affirmed the team’s belief in his abilities. The manager expressed optimism that, with time, Nkunku would emerge as a key asset for Chelsea.
