Chelsea pocketed their first victory of the season in the Premier League on Friday at the start of the third day against promoted Luton (3-0) with a brace and an assist for English winger Raheem Sterling, rewarded for his successful recovery . The “Blues”, much superior, managed to break through the grouped defense of the “Hatters” (hatters) thanks to an individual prowess from Sterling, all in speed and finesse (17th, 1-0), then a new achievement from the attacking on a cross from French defender Malo Gusto (68th, 2-0).
The opener, above all, made Stamford Bridge supporters roar with delight. The N.7 infiltrated in the middle of a race between two players, hooked and then shot between two other opponents to deceive Thomas Kaminski. The former Liverpool and Manchester City player completed his work with a decisive center for Nicolas Jackson (75th, 3-0).
It looks like a virtual resurrection for the 28-year-old English international, so erased during the past exercise for his first year at Chelsea, due in particular to a diet that is not compatible with the demands of the high level, as he l ‘recognised. Thanks to him, coach Mauricio Pochettino can breathe after the inaugural match against Liverpool (1-1) and the defeat at West Ham (3-1), a sluggish start for the rich west London club.
The Blues are also pushing back the bad statistics that have stuck with them since their disastrous last season, which ended in 12th place. It is their first league victory since May 6 (3-1 against Bournemouth), and the first at home in the Premier League since March 4 (1-0 against Leeds). For Luton, the return to the first division thirty-one years later is proving difficult, with a defense that has conceded seven goals in two matches.
