In the first half, Hayden Hackney scored the game’s lone goal by extending his body and sliding in an Isaiah Jones cross. Chelsea had 18 shots, just five of which were on goal, and Cole Palmer squandered three good chances as Chelsea lost for the sixth time this year. “It is challenging to discuss our performance,” Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, said. “We were not clinical enough, but we did create some opportunities. We have had some opportunities this first half of the season, but we haven’t won because we weren’t clinical enough; we need to keep working hard.” According to data experts Opta, Chelsea, who now hold the 10th position, has wasted 40 major opportunities in the Premier League this season, which is the second-highest amount in the top division.
