Mauricio Pochettino celebrated wildly as Chelsea scored the winner in a crazy 4-3 victory over Man U, and again at full time – as well he might!
Just in terms of pure swing, there has been little precedent for a game like this in football. A loss felt like it was leading to more bad results and an inevitable departure in the summer. 80 seconds later we’ve won, we could win on Sunday and suddenly be back in it.
No wonder Pochettino went mad. He knows he was coming close to the edge, and he knows this buys him vast credit with the fans, those above him, and even the players will get an injection of belief.
Pochettino likes to work with emotions, and so far in hims time here there haven’t been positive ones to use. Now let’s hope this changes that.
