Chelsea's victory, their first since the end of August, has been a long time coming for The Blues. The Carabao Cup may not hold the same prestige as the Premier League, and unfortunately, Chelsea paid a price for this win with Ben Chilwell's injury. Ben Chilwell's hamstring injury has been confirmed, adding to Chelsea's list of injured players.
This victory could serve as a turning point for Chelsea to achieve more wins, with the most hopeful outcome being an improvement in their performance in the Premier League.
Chelsea's performance was not encouraging but the win is more important. Brighton is a strong side but one would have expected the Chelsea team to have a free day with the amount they have spent compared with their opponent. Nicolas Jackson scored an important goal and ended his four-game goal drought. His second goal was ruled out for offside but I don't think it was. VAR would have confirmed that it was not offside but sadly the technology will be used in the Carabao Cup from the semi-finals. This win has reduced some pressure on Mauricio Pochettino and players. I saw smiles on their faces and the fans at least had something to celebrate after suffering from several disappointments. I just hope this win will serve as a turning point in the performance of Chelsea
Yesterday was a joyful day for Chelsea fans because it is not always easy for your team to go more than a month without a win, even with players that are very expensive and have great individual qualities, and a new coach who has been struggling to make sure the team performs well and gives the fans their best performance. They scored only one goal by Nickolas Jackson in the 50th minute of the game, which is an impressive goal for him and the team because Brighton dominated the game and created more chances than Chelsea in the match, but they were unlucky as they couldn't score a goal in the match.
This win should be an encouragement for Chelsea players because they have a long way to go and their next-month Premier League fixtures are tougher than the matches they have played so far in the league, but they still have a chance to move up in their next two matches since they are playing against Fulham and Burnley. After that, their Premier League fixtures will be against Arsenal, Brantford, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Newcastle United, which are very tough opponents that need a good and stable team to defeat.
