What Gallagher did to Enzo after Chelsea goal as Pochettino outburst more prominent than ever

Football is weird. What can happen in the space of just over 72 hours is insane.

Stamford Bridge was not a nice place to be on Sunday afternoon, unless you were part of the travelling Wolverhampton Wanders brigade. For Chelsea supporters, it was far from a pleasant place to be.

Boos rang around the stadium at full-time as Chelsea suffered their second successive defeat and the manner of them both was what really infuriated supporters. Then you fast-forward the clock three days – and a bit, granted – you have the whole of the travelling away fans at Villa Park singing: «We're gonna dance in a minute, dance a minute».

And if you hadn't guessed what happened next, they did dance. Why not? It was really cold, so warming up made sense. But more to the point, the Chelsea team were electric on the pitch.

If Mauricio Pochettino could have written the script to a 90-minute football match, it would have gone something like that. He probably wouldn't have included Moussa Diaby's late consolation goal, but that will not bother him.

«I am not more sad or happy about today after the win than after Wolverhampton,» Pochettino said at full-time in what turned into a bit of an outburst, albeit with positive messages, from the Chelsea head coach. «Because we already know, because we have that experience, that this type of project needs time and it needs trust.
