Graham Potter eased the pressure on his position as Chelsea manager as the Blues picked up a crucial three points against Leeds at Stamford Bridge. The first-half performance saw home fans boo their team off the pitch before Wesley Fofana headed home the winning goal in the second half.
Reports suggested Chelsea had to win their next two games against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16 second leg for Potter to keep his job safe. football.london understands Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali remain in support of the former Brighton boss - for now - despite the poor run of results recently.
After taking the lead against Javi Gracia's side, Potter opted to take off both Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling for Conor Gallagher and Denis Zakaria in an effort to stabilise the game as Leeds searched for an equaliser. The Chelsea boss came under criticism for his decision but it paid off as the Blues picked up their first three points in the Premier League since the win against Crystal Palace back in January.
