Latest Chelsea news as Todd Boehly reacts after his side's 1-0 defeat of Leeds United at Stamford Bridge thanks to a first-half goal from Wesley Fofana to ease the pressure on Graham Potter
Todd Boehly offered a straightforward reply when asked for his thoughts on Chelsea's 1-0 defeat of Leeds United on Saturday.
Wesley Fofana's first-half goal was enough to secure the Blues a first win in six games, a result that eases the pressure on Graham Potter ahead of Tuesday's Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea had not won since beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on January 15 and had tasted defeat at the hands of Dortmund, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur since.
Boehly, a co-owner of the Blues, was at his side's home to watch a crucial win for Potter's men and was asked for his verdict on the game afterwards. As reporters gathered pitchside, Boehly walked past them and in response to a question, he smiled and quipped 'it's a result'.
There has been a lot of speculation around Potter and Boehly's thoughts on the former Brighton & Hove Albion boss' situation because of Chelsea's poor run of form. Even after beating Leeds the Blues remain in tenth place and 11 points from Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place, though they do have a game-in-hand on Antonio Conte's side.
"The boys are giving everything," Potter said. "We're playing against one of the best teams in the league in terms of intensity. If the game starts to become Hawaii football, up and down, it can be a challenge for us.
"But they stuck at it, the crowd was great, they want us to do well. "They want us to win with more comfort, and we all want that, but the moment we're in, it's not so easy to do.
"It's a nice three points, an important three points - it's good for confidence, good for morale. "The boys are suffering because they care, they do. Our supporters have been suffering as well.
"It's been a tough period for us. The win gives us a chance to recover, and to prepare for a massive game on Tuesday night."

For GOD'S sake what spectacular qualities has Potter seen in Harverts that this guy is always fielded in all chelsea matches . he is sluggish in intercepting through passes. I believe d coach sees him doing well in training than others. if that is the case then it means Harverts is not a match player. his output in the last 5 matches is very poor and we recommend Datro fofana to take over from him right away.
