In his 200th match in charge, Crystal Palace succumbed to a 13th successive defeat against Chelsea having taken the lead through Jefferson Lerma's first goal for the club, after two strikes from Conor Gallagher.
The major criticism of the 76-year-old has been his unwillingness to give Palace's young players an opportunity but perhaps feeling he had nothing to lose in the absence of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze, Matheus Franca was finally handed his first Premier League start six months after his arrival. By contrast, Pochettino has no issues with developing players but could definitely do with some more consistency from his team.
