The outcome propelled the West Londoners up to 10th place in the Premier League standings.
After a slow start to the season, Pochettino will be hopeful that the victory will be the catalyst for his team’s success.
This summer, the West London team invested almost £400 million to enhance their roster.
Robert Sanchez, a goalkeeper who moved from Brighton and Hove Albion, was one of their acquisitions.
Chelsea reportedly intends to make improvements in that area in January even if they brought in a “keeper” during the summer.
Chelsea intends to acquire a new goalkeeper to take Robert Sanchez’s spot as the starting one, according to Football Insider.
Despite spending £25 million to get Sanchez from the Seagulls, the article states that the Blues still want to strengthen their ‘keeper position.
Kepa Arrizabalaga was the West Londoners’ go-to option in goal last season, but this summer, he was loaned to Real Madrid.
This season, Sanchez, 25, has started all one of Chelsea’s 14 games and given up 13 goals.
This season, the Spaniard has also kept five clean sheets.
The 25-year-old earned the Premier League’s September Save of the Month title after his outstanding performance to stop Nicolo Zaniolo of Aston Villa.
Sanchez is under contract with the team until 2030, having signed a seven-year contract when he moved to West London.
