Conor Gallagher has sent Graham Potter a message following Chelsea's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old midfielder, who has struggled for game time with the Blues this season, was brought on for Kai Havertz with a quarter-of-an-hour to spare and he took the opportunity by the scruff of the neck, netting the match-winning goal against his former side.
In the opening games of the season, he had struggled to prove himself worthy of a place in the Chelsea side following a string of unconvincing cameo and a red card tainting his record. But, with a huge goal under his belt - and his first for the club - Gallagher is looking to build upon his display, persevere and work hard to nail down a place in Potter's side.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the Cobham graduate explained that he's willing to do what it takes to ensure success at Stamford Bridge, inadvertently calling for his boss to entrust him with greater game time. Gallagher said: "I want to work as hard as I can for him [manager Graham Potter] and be available wherever he needs me, whether starting or coming off the bench.
