“I witnessed Mauricio Pochettino make a brilliant move last night that likely spared his position at Chelsea.” – Chelsea Legend Didier Drogba declares as he praises the club’s manager for making a wise decision that tipped the game into the Blues favour.

Mauricio Pochettino surely experienced moments of pressure during last night’s exciting FA Cup victory at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea secured a 3-2 win against Leeds United in the Round of 16, securing their spot in the quarter-finals, where they will face Leicester City at home.

The outcome barely reflects the events of the evening for Pochettino in West London, especially during the second half.

Throughout most of that period, the Blues found themselves under significant pressure, with their opponents posing a threat that could have resulted in an unpredictable outcome.

Following some slight changes from the EFL Cup final loss against Liverpool over the weekend, Pochettino turned to his substitutes and key players to make a difference in the latter part of the game.

One of those substitutions included Conor Gallagher, who had been visibly fatigued during the match at Wembley on Sunday.

However, any signs of fatigue were dispelled as Gallagher skillfully received a pass from Enzo Fernandez, turned swiftly, and slotted a finish into the corner as the game neared its conclusion.

Pochettino’s choice to bring him into the game proved to be a wise move, potentially extending his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

Following the defeat at Wembley, there were rumors circulating that certain individuals within the club had started considering various alternative managerial options for the near future.

Names like Ruben Amorim have often been brought up as potential successors, but Pochettino demonstrated with his tactical decisions last night that he still has something to offer at the club.
