Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino commented on the 1-0 victory over Brighton in the last 16 of the EFL Cup.
"It was very important for us to win and reach the next round after several matches in which we failed to get three points. This result should be a turning point. The time has come.
There were a lot of positives in this match. In this match we saw the players fighting, giving their best," Pochettino was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
