Exclusive: Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino explains why Cole Palmer is such a hit so far at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino during a game against Brentford in March 2024.

Chelsea hadn’t lost in the league for exactly two months and initially they were on course to maintain that unbeaten streak without much trouble as they were cruising 2-0 inside 20 minutes. But then Manchester United stepped up a gear and found themselves back in the game by half-time.

Shortly after United even took the lead via the impressive Alejandro Garnacho, who scored his second on the night.
