Conor Gallagher ger äran för den sena Chelsea-upphämtningen till den kritiserade Mauricio Pochettino.

Real Madrid could become an unstoppable force if they manage to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, according to football expert Laurens. The potential addition of Mbappe to an already formidable squad would make Real Madrid a “massive monster” in the eyes of Laurens.

In the Premier League, Chelsea secured a remarkable comeback victory against Crystal Palace, with Conor Gallagher leading the charge. The Blues found themselves trailing 1-0 at half-time but managed to score twice in stoppage time to secure a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park. Gallagher netted two goals, while Enzo Fernandez completed the turnaround.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino received praise from Gallagher for his tactical adjustments during the match. The midfielder credited Pochettino’s “really good” tweaks for their 13th consecutive win against their London rivals. Despite facing scrutiny in his debut season as Chelsea boss, Pochettino’s changes proved instrumental in securing the victory.

Reflecting on the match, Gallagher expressed his delight with the team’s performance and the three points they earned. He highlighted Pochettino’s decision to provide more structure in the opponent’s half, which allowed Chelsea to create more chances and ultimately secure the win. Gallagher also mentioned his personal struggle with cramping before scoring a crucial goal, describing it as an “amazing feeling.”

Pochettino himself acknowledged the team’s lackluster first-half display and emphasized the need for greater consistency. The win against Crystal Palace was a much-needed boost for Chelsea after consecutive league defeats to Liverpool and Wolves. However, Pochettino stressed the importance of building confidence and addressing areas that require improvement ahead of their upcoming clash with Manchester City.

On the other side, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson expressed disappointment with the result, describing it as “extremely cruel.” Despite the defeat, Hodgson remains confident that his team will avoid relegation by the end of the season. He attributed their current struggles to the absence of key players due to injury but believes in the quality and determination of his squad to secure their Premier League status.

Crystal Palace now face a crucial match against Everton, who currently sit in the relegation zone. Hodgson will be hoping for a positive result to further distance his team from the threat of relegation.
