Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has explained taking in Brighton's Europa League win against Roma this week.

Pochettino was present for Brighton's 1-0 win.

"No, it's not my job to scout. We wanted to go because in three weeks we play against Brighton in Brighton," he said.

"It was a fantastic opportunity to watch football live, because we usually don't have time for that. It's great because it's only 45 minutes from here in Cobham so we decided to go at the last minute.

"It was good to see Roma and Brighton, also as a spectator, where you didn't have to suffer on the sidelines."
