Mauricio Pochettino singles out ‘unbelievable’ Noni Madueke after Chelsea’s win over Tottenham
Mauricio Pochettino reserved special praise for Noni Madueke’s ‘unbelievable’ performance following Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat of Tottenham, applauding how the winger had supported youngster Alfie Gilchrist on the right flank.
Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson scored headed goals either side of half-time in a comfortable win for the hosts, with Pochettino desperate for a big reaction after three games without victory.
Spurs were well and truly found wanting and Ange Postecoglou’s frustrations bubbled over as he was captured losing his temper with Cristian Romero and Pape Matar Sarr towards the end of lacklustre first-half display from the visitors.
Making only his second start in the Premier League, Chelsea academy product Gilchrist, 20, impressed on the right side of Pochettino’s defence, keeping Son Heung-min relatively quiet on the night.
