In the end we came away with just the one point from Sunday’s Premier League fixture with Ipswich at Stamford Bridge, but the highlight of the game for the home fans was a brilliant strike by Sancho to level the scores at 2-2.

The winger’s effort had a bit of everything, as he fired into the top corner with power, curl and dip, to complete a fightback from two down after coming off the bench in the second half.

‘We were attacking so much with the momentum,’ said Sancho. ‘At the corner, I just saw space on the edge of the box and Cole [Palmer] took a quick one to pass me the ball. I saw the goal open and thought “why not?” and just shot, and I’m happy it went in the top corner.

‘But it’s a bit disappointing because we dropped valuable points at home and we know each game ahead of us is going to be very tough.

‘It’s probably one of my best goals, and it got us the point, but I would have preferred the three points even if that meant I didn’t score. But we have to move on and come back stronger.’

That disappointment is only made tougher by the way we dominated the vast majority of the match against Ipswich and worked the goalkeeper hard, but were denied by a series of saves.

That was particularly the case during the closing stages, when Alex Palmer repeatedly came to his defence’s rescue to prevent what would have been an impressive come-from-behind win for Chelsea, having found ourselves trailing 2-0 at half-time.

‘It’s very disappointing. We had so many chances to seal the game but unfortunately it was just one of those games where the keeper’s making spectacular saves. We had the most possession and a lot of chances to score.

‘We knew going into the game that Ipswich are very good on the counter-attack and it’s unfortunate that we just let it slip and conceded two goals out of nothing really.

‘The half-time team-talk was just to try and get back into the game and try to win. We came out sharp with the early goal in the second half and the momentum just kicked on.

‘Obviously we were at home as well so having the fans behind us is key. We had so many chances, the keeper made some great saves and we were just unlucky on the day. It’s unfortunate, but we can’t be dropping points, especially at home.’

That result leaves us sixth in the Premier League table, one point behind Manchester City and qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League, a target which Sancho insists is still very much within the team’s sights.

‘We really want that Champions League spot,’ Jadon added. ‘It’s not over, we’ve still got six games to go. From now on every game is going to have to be a final, so we’re going to need everyone at 100 per cent.

‘We have tough games ahead but if we stick together I’m sure we can get what we need from them.’
