Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino hailed the performance of Cole Palmer for last night's Carabao Cup win against Brighton.

For many, Palmer was best afield for the night as the Blues won 1-0 via Nicolas Jackson's strike.

Pochettino reflected: "Cole is a very talented player, he was key in this victory.

"Still young, still needs to settle in the club, not only the team, but in the club and the city.

"I think we saw how good he is."
