Chelsea 1-0 Brighton & Hove Albion: Nicolas Jackson goal sends Blues into fourth round

Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea's victory over Brighton in the third round of the Carabao Cup 'must be' the turning point of their season.

Nicolas Jackson scored the only goal in an intense game to see the Blues pick up their first win in four matches and set up a last-16 tie against Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

Chelsea have struggled to find the net this season and won just one of their six games in the Premier League, and Pochettino says the win over the Seagulls must be the result to kick-start their campaign.

"It should be, it must be," he said.
