Following Chelsea's triumphant 4-0 thumping over Preston North End in the FA Cup, Mauricio Pochettino was seen engaging in an awkward conversation with Cole Palmer.

Despite a challenging first half, the Blues secured a 4-0 victory, with goals from Armando Broja, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, and Enzo Fernandez.

The Spanish boss grabbed Palmer on the pitch in a Pep Guardiola-esque exchange to offer the former City starlet some words of advice.

During the post-match press conference, Pochettino admitted he was 'disappointed' in Cole Palmer missing a big chance in the game.
