Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory over Brentford at Stamford Bridge, with Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson scoring for Chelsea, while Bryan Mbeumo's late goal for Brentford made the match tense.
The win lifted Chelsea to within two points of league leaders Liverpool, although Cucurella was sent off for aggressive behavior late in the game.
When asked about Chelsea's title chances, Jackson responded humorously, expressing surprise at the club's position and stating he doesn't focus on the table.
His light-hearted remark aligns with manager Enzo Maresca's approach, which encourages focusing on game-by-game improvement rather than title ambitions. Chelsea could briefly top the table before Liverpool's next match against Tottenham.
