But even after his strike, Pochettino was left raging at full-time.

Both teams fought tooth and nail to find a winner, well into the 101st minute.

But as referee Anthony Taylor blew for full-time, Pochettino erupted.

The Chelsea chief was furious as Marc Cucurella had won back position and was storming forward to launch one last attempt on goal.

Pochettino stormed over to the fourth official to give him a mouthful.

He then raced onto the pitch to make his feelings heard to the ref.

Pochettino was held back by members of his bench as he made his way to the middle.

The Blues boss appeared to scream “what the f***” and angrily waved his arms before he was hauled back towards his dugout.

And fans had plenty to say about it after catching their breath from such an enthralling game.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one wrote: “One of the brilliant games. Pochettino getting emotional at the ref. This is Chelsea we love.”

Another said: “Mauricio Pochettino is raging! Clearly feels the game should have continued for longer. I mean, if I’m honest, I’d have happily let them play all night.”

A third posted: “Pochettino running after Anthony Taylor and even request he get booked was a beautiful sight.”

One Chelsea fan simply said: “My manager.”
