Nicolas Jackson was the hero for Chelsea as they ended a miserable run to beat Brighton 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday.
An excellent team move culminated in a deft pass from Cole Palmer - who impressed throughout his first start for the club - into the striker's path as he lashed home their first goal in four matches. Jackson had a good chance saved later in the half and then thought he had doubled his team's lead but was denied by the linesman's flag.Mauricio Pochettino will breathe a sigh of relief after his team's winless streak stopped at three games, with the likes of Palmer, Ian Maatsen and Marc Cucurella making strong cases for a place in the starting XI.
