Rather than capitulate as they did in Tuesday’s humiliating 5-0 loss at Arsenal, the Blues dug deep to rescue a gritty point thanks to goals from Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher. “It is painful as it has damaged English football. Villa’s players and their fans didn’t understand why the goal was disallowed.“For me it damaged a little bit the Premier League.

The under-fire Pochettino reportedly retains the backing of Chelsea’s ninth placed squad — which has been assembled for over £1 billion — despite a difficult campaign that included an FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester City last weekend.

Nicolas Jackson was inches away from equalising with a close-range header from Cucurella’s cross that glanced off the post.
