Player of the match Jadon Sancho sends emotional message to Man United after Chelsea Debut

Christopher Nkunku, a late substitute, gave Chelsea a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth; on his brilliant debut, Jadon Sancho claimed the assist.

For manager Enzo Maresca, who also seen the Cherries miss the outside of the post through Ryan Christie in the second half, Robert Sanchez’s save of Evanilson’s penalty will make the outcome even more delicious.

Four major talking topics from the Vitality Stadium are covered by Express Sport as the Blues prepare to return to London with three somewhat fortunate points.

Jadon Sancho sends message

Coming on for his debut at half-time for a floundering Pedro Neto, the stage was set for Sancho to make an impact, and he didn’t disappoint.

Within three minutes of being stationed on the left flank, the Manchester United loanee found Marc Cucurella on the overlap which created a brilliant chance to score.

Soon afterwards, Sancho received the ball, drove at two defenders and laid it off at the last second to Nicolas Jackson, who fired narrowly over.

His cameo was full of bright moments, the likes of which he would have hoped to show Chelsea fans after a hugely disappointing spell at Old Trafford, and he got what he deserved four minutes from time.

Once again driving inwards from the left, Sancho fired a low pass into the feet of Nkunku, who brilliantly shrugged off the Bournemouth defence before finding the far corner.
