<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-man-city-axel-disasi-conor-gallagher/bltb04fb66692ce0133" target="_blank">The Blues caused the champions all sorts of problems</a> before going ahead just before half-time when Raheem Sterling finished off yet another threatening counter attack. City piled the pressure on during the second half, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-barcelona-advice-misfiring-erling-haaland-man-city-chelsea-draw/bltf77528ebbabfd843" target="_blank">creating a host of chances</a> but Chelsea had opportunities to double their lead before Rodri rescued a late point for the hosts. After the game, Pochettino reflected on a performance that he believes is another step forward in the development of his team.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Very pleased," Pochettino told <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/1758952509614207000?s=20" target="_blank">Sky Sports </a>after the match. "I think that is the spirit that we want to show. We are working for that. I think today against the the best team in the world, to show this type of performance, we need to be feel very proud. I congratulated the players at the end of the game because we were so brave."First half was really good. I think we were very aggressive with the ball going forward and winning duels. In the second half I think they dominated and they forced us to defend deeper. But I think we sustained the effort and we created chances that we should score and win the game. I am so happy. It is a good draw for us and when you face this type of team I think it is important to be brave and to fight in every single aspect."Manchester City have the quality and capacity to create chances and they have amazing players. It is fantastic for us because we are a young team and we need these types of experiences to grow."

WHAT MAURICIO POCHETTINO SAID

It's less than two weeks since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-wolves-mauricio-pochettino-moises-caicedo/blt09e0aeb46605d3a6" target="_blank">Chelsea's collapse at home to Wolves</a> appeared to put Pochettino on borrowed time. But an FA Cup win at high-flying Aston Villa backed up by two strong league performances has suddenly changed the mood at Stamford Bridge with a young and haphazardly assembled squad finally showing some signs of cohesion. Chelsea fans can now head to Wembley dreaming rather than dreading the Carabao Cup final next Sunday.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

That first silverware of the season is on the line when the Blues make the short trip to Wembley Way next weekend. Pochettino has a free midweek to prepare his side, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/injury-disaster-liverpool-diogo-jota-knee-issue-curtis-jones-brentford-mohamed-salah-return/blt437ba0b65a27a61f" target="_blank">injury-hit opponents Liverpool have to inspect their walking wounded</a> as well as attending to league business against Luton Town on Wednesday.
