Mauricio Pochettino hailed his ‘intelligent’ Chelsea team for learning from past mistakes in their thrashing of West Ham.
The Blues put five goals past David Moyes’ side at Stamford Bridge but Pochettino was particularly pleased by the fourth, which saw Noni Madueke unselfishly set-up team-mate Nicolas Jackson for a tap-in.
Madeuke and Jackson were involved in a heated row during Chelsea’s 6-0 victory over Everton last month, with both players attempting to take a penalty instead of designated taker Cole Palmer.
Both were heavily criticised for their antics but Pochettino insisted Sunday's performance showed his young team has matured.
‘The assist from Noni to Jackson, that showed that we learn, that we are smart,’ Pochettino said.
