Sancho shines on debut but Nkunku the match-winner

Jadon Sancho created the goal that won the game on his Chelsea debut, the club which he supported as a boy.

The 24-year-old winger, on loan from Manchester United with an obligation to buy included in the deal, produced nutmegs, beat his men and set up several chances after replacing a struggling Pedro Neto at the start of the second half.

Within 30 minutes, the away fans had seen enough and begun chanting his name.

But for all his promise, the moment was fellow substitute Christopher Nkunku's, as his impressive pivot in the box found himself space out of nowhere, before an instinctive finish allowed him to score against the run of play in the 86th minute.

Chelsea were second best on the South Coast where Robert Sanchez had to make multiple saves, including from a 36th-minute penalty.

It says all you need to know about this match that Sanchez and England defender Levi Colwill arguably deserve to be rewarded with the man of the match award.

However, as work still needs to be done to implement Enzo Maresca's philosophy to the required standard, there is talent at Chelsea, especially in attack with Sancho now among their options and already looking exciting.
