Even the intense rain in Southampton couldn’t spoil this moment for Jadon Sancho, who was holding his arms high in front of the cheering Chelsea supporters. This meant a lot to him, as he turned to enjoy the applause for a few more seconds while his teammates strolled back to restart the game.
It was the first Premier League goal Sancho had scored since May 28, 2023. It is his first for Chelsea, a team he has always had a special place in his heart because he grew up in and around London and adored Frank Lampard. He scored again over eighteen months after his last away Premier League goal.
The loyal supporters of Chelsea, known as Chelsea fans, were already feeling quite happy.Once the game was completely out of sight, they chanted, “We’ve got our Chelsea back,” throughout the second half.The management responded favourably when Enzo Maresca’s name was chanted out loud as well.
But this was different for Sancho. For the most of the last few years, he has struggled to appreciate football. His transfer to Manchester United only resulted in disappointment and anxiety. However, he is one of many attacking reinforcements at Chelsea.
He earned his spot by playing well in the Conference League three days prior, and he started Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. He has directly assisted on three goals in the past week alone, including Wednesday night’s late right-footed goal at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Six goals and three assists were the maximum he accomplished during his finest Premier League season at Old Trafford.Despite only making five starts in eight games, Sancho has already tied Chelsea’s assist total.After scoring, Sancho’s emotions were evident as he pounded at his chest and the Chelsea badge with his first.
It’s been a while since the 24-year-old has displayed this degree of joy.He later reiterated the same opinion on Instagram. “First goal, unforgettable feeling [rubbing fingers emoji],” he tweeted. Excellent teamwork [flame emoji]. I’ll see you on Sunday.
Chelsea’s unexpectedly strong start to the season has virtually eliminated any doubt, if there ever was any, that a permanent transaction will be finalised next summer, given their buy option in the sale of Sancho is contingent on Premier League success.At a maximum of £25 million, Chelsea will receive not only Sancho’s promise as it seemed on the summer deadline, but also a player who is prepared to contribute at the highest level once more.
