THREE POINTS WINNER AT THE BRIDGE DINNER

Chelsea didn’t get off to the best start, but came into action after a few minutes and created some excellent chances, but were unable to convert them when Raheem Sterling fired straight at the goalkeeper from ten yards after an effort on goal. mouth. and Enzo Fernández aimed his shot over the bar.

But Sterling then took matters into his own hands, putting on a brilliant individual run, losing three or four defenders and then finishing capably with his left foot into the far bottom corner. We haven’t seen many of these goals since Eden Hazard’s departure.

Unfortunately, Chelsea subsequently failed to capitalize on that breakthrough and failed to generate any shots in the final half hour of the first half. Luton rarely threatened, but with just one goal they felt anything but comfortable. Chelsea also made a reasonably good start to the second half, with Chilwell squandering a brilliant opportunity by opting to make the extra pass rather than shoot when eight yards wide. Further chances were squandered in quick succession by Sterling and Jackson as frustration levels began to mount.

Luton then gave a frightening reminder how close the score still was despite Chelsea’s dominance, creating a huge chance out of practically nothing. Sánchez manages to take the shot and clear it, with Gusto’s desperate dive that takes the sting out of the shot but also deflects it.

Chilwell and Sterling then squandered a few more chances before Sterling finally completed a beautiful pass in the 68th minute. Sterling then continued to be a supplier for a few minutes, with Jackson touching home to secure the points.

Three points, to the Bridge!

Carefree.
