Chelsea earned a penalty in the 89th minute while the game was deadlocked at 1-1. Madueke stepped in and converted, securing three crucial points. Despite Pochettino designating Gallagher as the penalty taker in the absence of regular ones like Sterling and Palmer, it wasn’t Gallagher who took the shot.
Pochettino explained the deviation, stating to BBC Match of the Day, “It was Conor and I said to him: “It’s you but if you’re not confident enough give it Noni’. I am so glad and so happy. He came from the bench and showed this hunger and confidence.”
Madueke expressed his positivity before the penalty, mentioning to Amazon Prime, “It was a clear-cut penalty. I had scored one earlier in a cup game, and I was confident in my technique, especially with Sterling and Palmer absent.”
Following their victory at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea aims for back-to-back wins as they head to Luton on December 30 to close out their 2023 fixtures.
