Pochettino on beating Brighton
The Chelsea boss was in high spirits in the post-match press conference. He praised his players and reiterated how their project, now bearing fruit, required patience.
"The approach of the game, facing a team that plays well like Brighton, it's a massive credit to our players,” he said, per the BBC.
“I'm so happy and the three points puts us in a very good position in the table to attack the last game against Bournemouth for the possibility to be in Europe. Brighton is a very good team and it's always difficult to play here.”

"We have improved results and performances. We talked about patience and when you need to build something you need time but it always looks like an excuse at a big club. We have kept working and being positive and to finish in a good way would be good for the club."
Pochettino on VAR
The Argentine manager has been one of the most vocal antagonists of the technology. Earlier this evening, it was revealed that the Premier League clubs will put keeping VAR next season to a vote, as Pulse Sports reported.
Asked about this development, the 52-year-old kept his cards close to his chest, saying that it was not his decision.
"It's not my decision. We're living in an era of technology and for me it's not in or out, yes or no on VAR, it's about improving how we use it."
