Carabao League: Pochettino reacts to Chelsea’s narrow in vs AFC Wimbledon

Chelsea managed to proceed to the third round of the Carabao League after their 2-1 win against AFC Wimbledon.

The Blues won the match thanks to goals from Noni Madueke and substitute Enzo Fernandez.

Chelsea’s match vs Wimbledon saw manager Mauricio Pochettino start with an inexperienced squad as he described the match as a tough one.

‘It was tough but we really enjoyed it,’ said Pochettino.

‘I am happy with the performance overall. We were competitive and we deserve to be in the next round.

‘There were many players who made their debut here at Stamford Bridge. There are many positive things.’

The manager had to bring in the likes of Enzo, Nicolas Jackson and Moises Caicedo at some points during the match.

‘We have a squad and there were players resting on the bench if we needed. They were fresh to go into the game and in the end help the team achieve what we wanted.

‘It is always difficult to play against a team like this. That is the beauty of the cups. They are in League Two with motivation and desire.’
