The full-time whistle sounds during Chelsea vs Luton Town, and Blues have their first Premier League, 3-0 win of the Pochettino era! Sterling continued his lively start to the season, opening the scoring with an outstanding solo effort before doubling up after the break, steering Gusto's cross home from close range.
To cap a fine performance, Sterling saw his deflected cross turned home by Jackson for the striker's first league goal in a Chelsea shirt. Luton faded as the game went on, but the success – or otherwise – of their season will not be judged on games like this one.
