Enzo Maresca's Decision pays off as Sancho Scores in Chelsea’s Comeback Against Ipswich

Chelsea showed real determination and fight as they came back from 2-0 down to level the score against Ipswich and after being 2-0 down in the first half.

The second-half started perfectly for the Blues. Just 18 seconds after the restart, Marc Cucurella scored Chelsea’s first goal. It was a much needed boost that gave the whole team belief and energy. After that, Chelsea pushed hard to find the equaliser.

And it came thanks to a brilliant goal from on-loan Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho. The technique he used for the finish reminded everyone of the quality he has. For a player who hasn’t scored many this season, it was a special moment.

At first, fans were frustrated when Noni Madueke was taken off for Sancho. Madueke had looked like Chelsea’s most dangerous attacker, and many supporters didn’t understand the change. But it’s likely that Madueke is still not fully fit and was taken off as a precaution.

In the end, Sancho proved the decision right. Not only did he score a fantastic goal, but he also gave Chelsea a new spark in attack.

Now, the focus turns to Sancho’s shooting. Despite his talent, he has averaged less than one shot per game this season – and that’s simply not good enough for a forward in a front three. A goal like today’s should give him the confidence to shoot more often. If he can add goals to his game regularly, he could become a real asset for Chelsea during his loan spell.

It’s also a reminder that Chelsea need more goals from their attacking players. While it’s great to see someone like Cucurella step up, the forwards must take on more responsibility in front of goal.
