Chelsea news as Graham Potter eases the pressure on himself with a much-needed win over Leeds United on Saturday to end a run of six games with a victory.
Chelsea earned their first win in six games on Saturday with a narrow 1-0 victory over Leeds United. Wesley Fofana marked his return to Graham Potter's line-up with the only goal of the game in the second half.
Prior to the game, the fixture against Javi Garcia's side was marked as one of two crucial games for Potter regarding his imminent future at Stamford Bridge. football.london understands that Potter retains the support of the ownership despite calls for him to be dismissed by supporters.
The French defender was signed from Leicester City towards the end of the summer transfer window for a deal worth 75 million, including add-ons. Fofana has now played the previous three games, coming off the bench against Southampton and Spurs, after last featuring in the 3-0 win over AC Milan in October.
And after the game, TV cameras caught Boehly celebrating the win inside his box at Stamford Bridge. Unlike when the goal was scored, it was smiles all around from the U.S. billionaire. He'll be expecting more of the same in midweek and for the rest of the season.
