Chelsea boss Pochettino delighted for hat-trick hero Jackson

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted for Nicolas Jackson after victory at Tottenham on Monday night.

The Blues won 4-1 on Monday night, with Spurs having two players sent off and VAR denying five goals on the night. Jackson ended the game with a hat-trick.

Pochettino said of his striker: "I think it is about building his confidence. We know when a striker is young and arrives at a club like Chelsea it is massive. He is so young and came from Spain, different league and he needs to improve. I hope this hat-trick can allow him top play more relaxed and find the confidence he needs."

"I am so happy because the three points means a lot for us. We are in a situation when we need to win points.

"I am happy to come back and see people I didn't get the chance to say bye too. Most important for me is the win. It is Tottenham and it is not more special because of that."
