Chelsea showed their worst image despite having achieved a 2-3 victory against Luton Town

Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea survived from the combative Luton Town’s spirit in a comfortable game in Kenilworth Road that turned really difficult for the Blues in the last few minutes despite having dominated almost the entire game with an efficient performance against the Hatters on the twentieth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season.

The Blues opened the scoring at the 12th with a goal by Cole Palmer when he pounced on an error by Luton defender Issa Kabore to unleash a fierce angled shot that flew past Thomas Kaminski.The Manchester City former striker showed to be one of the best players on the pitch for the West London team and his performance was pivotal for the Chelsea’s ambitions in the game.

Pochettino’s side extended their lead in the 37th with a goal by Madueke, who finished a great assist by Cole Palmer, who in the 70th made the third goal for Chelsea, who showed a brilliant effectiveness on the boots of the English international. However, the West London team would suffer a late reaction from Luton Town, who profited the habitual mistakes in the Blues’ defense to surprise the visitors.

Chelsea suffered more than expected to conserve their lead

The Hatters scored their first goal in the 80th through the former Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley, who netted what looked like a consolation goal for the locals but ended up being the first step in a potential comeback, as seven minutes later Elijah Adebayo scored the second for Luton and Chelsea suffered more than expected to conserve the final 2-3 result, which helped the Blues to remain on tenth position of the Premier League table but still far from the European positions in the tournament.
