Every word from Mauricio Pochettino on Chelsea chaos, Palmer, Man Utd win and avoiding a circus

Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the media after Chelsea's 4-3 victory over Manchester United on Thursday night. Somehow, the Blues head coach had to try and sum up what everyone had just witnessed at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer scored a stunning – and the most dramatic of – hat-tricks to inspire Chelsea in stoppage time. There was a massive let-off around the stadium as soon as the ball travelled past Andre Onana and hand the Blues three points.

Less than an hour after the game finished, Pochettino made his way to the media room and conducted his post-match press conference. Here is every word the Argentine had to say.

Mauricio, how did that feel?

«It was amazing because we deserved it. We were the better team today. It was fair that we scored in the last minute. I think if you see everything, we started the game really well. The game was under control at 2-0 but then we made a big mistake.

»We suffered a big impact emotionally, an impact that was not easy to deal with. But in the second-half, we controlled the game. We conceded in transition. Of course, I'm disappointed with the way we conceded three goals because I think we should be better in this type of situation.

«But if you analyse the game, I think it's a fair result. Three points for us and I think it's an important finish at the end, creating the connection with our fans, the fans and the players. It's a very good thing that happened today and it should be a turning point for us, the team to trust from the fans.»
