Graham Potter Singles Out 2 Chelsea Players For Praise

Chelsea boss Graham Potter praised Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell after their 1-0 win over Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday. Fofana scored the winning goal, while Chilwell made a big impact during the match.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, Potter hailed Fofana’s performance, saying the defender was brave with the ball and had been a big miss for the team during his absence. He added that Fofana’s physicality and ability to attack the ball in the box helped secure the victory for Chelsea.

Potter also praised Chilwell, saying the left-back had improved throughout the week and had a big impact on the game. Although he didn’t score or provide an assist, Chilwell’s defensive and offensive contributions helped Chelsea keep a clean sheet and secure the three points.

The win was a crucial one for Chelsea, who are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and are hopeful for a top-four or European spot finish. Fofana’s goal also demonstrated his importance to the team and highlighted the impact he can have when fully fit and healthy. Chilwell, meanwhile, continues to impress after a strong start to the season and looks to be a key player for the club going forward.

“Wesley Fofana has been a big miss for us. He is one of the players who has been out for a while. He is physical, brave with the ball and does what he does well in the box, which is attack the ball. It gave us a win.”

“Ben [Chilwel] has got stronger and stronger as the week has gone on and I thought today he affected the game in a really big way,” Graham Potter added in his post-match press conference.
