Sept 28 (Reuters) - Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said his team "fully deserved" Wednesday's 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup and hopes the result will help kickstart their stuttering Premier League campaign.
Chelsea are 14th in the league after only one win from six games so far, having drawn two and lost three, and have managed just five goals in the competition.
I think it's important to go through in the competition, build our trust and the momentum.
Left back Ben Chilwell was forced off late in the contest, with Pochettino saying it appeared to be a hamstring injury.
Chelsea return to Premier League action on Sunday with a trip to Fulham.
