Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson has said he is not too bothered by his goals as the most important thing is to win.

He is only 16 years old, and came close to making this a dream debut by scoring from 25 yards. You suspect he will get another chance in next week’s second leg.

‘I felt excited to give him the chance,’ Maresca said on Walsh. ‘He’s suited to our style. He’s the eighth debut from the academy. 

‘He is perfect for our system, but of course he’s also young, so we need to protect him. I told him to enjoy the experience before he came on. It was the perfect night – an important semi-final and a good result.’

Sancho had spent the opening 12 minutes complaining that his team-mates were not passing to him when he was finally found for the opener.
