"I was very happy to see Nkunku score and it shows how important he can be for us. He had been out for a long time and that's why we only brought him on after the 60th minute to help make things easier for him.

He's a great player who can score goals and we're pleased that he did that today. Of course, we are also disappointed that we did not win the match. It will take time for Cristo to start to show his worth regularly, but we are very confident that he will get to his best and be a key player for us," Pochettino was quoted as saying by the Chelsea press service.
