Surely Petrovic is moving some of you?👀

Mauricio Pochettino:

"We created many chances. I am really pleased with the performance. You need to adapt to the team and it's an important step for Christopher Nkunku."

"The Premier League is really tough and we need to be consistent. The first half of the season has been really up and down and it's been tough and difficult. But we're positive and we need to show that we can compete."

On the penalty:

"It was Conor [Gallagher] and I said to him 'it's you but if you're not confident enough [for the penalty] give it Noni'. I am so glad and so happy. He came from the bench and showed this hunger and confidence."

"We created chances to score, we scored, but I wasn’t so happy we conceded in the last minute. The second half we started well again, played a bit more, and I’m so happy the players from the bench had such a good impact."

"When you come from a not nice result, it’s always a difficult moment to play. It was really tough, but I’m pleased with the performance overall."

"We didn’t start well; we were a little bit nervous and struggled because we were thinking too much about a game we really needed to win."

"We are starting to build our run of winning games at Stamford Bridge. The last year or year-and-an-half the results were not so good, so it’s so important to win in front of our fans."
