Graham Potter admitted that he could understand why Chelsea fans booed him and his underperforming side, after their miserable season reached a new nadir in losing 1-0 at home to Southampton.
Chelsea went into the game with the Saints on the back of a run which had seen them win just one of their nine games in all competitions since the turn of the year. On paper at least, Southampton provided a good chance to return to winning ways - but Potter's side are proving experts at spurning chances and did so again.
James Ward-Prowse’s first-half goal was the difference between the two sides, with the Blues facing the possibility of being 13 points off the top four by the end of the weekend.
