In a remarkable 5-0 triumph over West Ham on Sunday, Chelsea showcased a resurgence highlighted by goals from Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, and Noni Madueke in the opening half and a brace by Nicolas Jackson in the latter stage.
Despite grappling with adversity throughout the season, Chelsea’s recent form boasts just one loss in their last 12 Premier League outings, catapulting them to seventh place in the league standings.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino pinpointed Noni Madueke’s altruistic assist for Jackson’s goal as a defining moment, underscoring the team’s maturation and cohesion.
Reflecting on earlier criticisms faced, Pochettino stressed the significance of learning from setbacks and commended the team’s growing unity and belief.
Addressing reporters in the post-match press conference, Pochettino remarked: “Noni’s assist to Jackson epitomises our capacity to adapt and evolve. It encapsulates unity and progress within the squad. It’s a testament to the principles we’ve instilled, and it’s rewarding to witness the team rallying together and embracing these principles.”
