In a resounding victory, Chelsea emerged triumphant with a 3-0 win against Luton Town, as Raheem Sterling shone with a brilliant brace and new signing Nicolas Jackson netted his debut goal for the club. The match marked Mauricio Pochettino’s first Premier League win as the manager of Chelsea, showcasing the team’s prowess under his guidance.
Sterling, continuing his remarkable start to the season, delivered a standout performance that included a breathtaking opening goal, a skillfully taken second goal, and an assist for Jackson’s milestone strike. The England forward’s exceptional form has been a beacon of light for Chelsea during the early stages of the season, standing out in their previous 1-1 draw with Liverpool and a 3-1 loss to West Ham United.
Mauricio Pochettino heaped praise on Sterling, attributing the forward’s resurgence to his unwavering commitment and dedication. Pochettino acknowledged Sterling’s struggles in the previous season and commended his determination to return to his best form.
Pochettino expressed his delight for Sterling, emphasizing the positive impact of offensive players contributing through goals and assists. The Argentine coach revealed that he engaged in conversations with Sterling to explore the possibility of reinventing his role within the team structure.
“Our first conversation with all of the players, and Raheem, I love to ask the position they love to play, how they feel, how they see themselves,” Pochettino stated. “It’s not the position, it’s the animation and the way the team is going to link in between them. It’s to find the best position … to provide the best platform, position and place and link with the player where they can [show] their best quality. It’s really important, the process … When you want to build a team in the process that we are, it’s a matter of time.”
Additionally, Pochettino lauded the contribution of Nicolas Jackson, who scored his inaugural goal for the club. The manager expressed his admiration for Jackson’s potential and predicted a bright future for the talented striker.
“He’s amazing. It’s difficult to find a player like him in the market,” Pochettino praised. “For me, he’s going to be one of the great strikers. He has the potential to be.”
On the opposing side, Luton Town faced a second consecutive defeat, a disappointing outcome for the newly promoted team. The match marked their first home game of the season after the postponement of the previous fixture due to ongoing stadium renovations required to meet Premier League standards.
