Graham Potter sent Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola message amid Chelsea penalty controversy

Chelsea manager Graham Potter has been told he must be more like Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in post-match interviews. The Blues drew their latest Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday, although a controversial penalty decision went against the visitors late into their game against the Hammers.

With the contest level just before the 90th minute mark, Conor Gallagher's shot was blocked by the arm of Tomas Soucek but neither VAR or on-pitch referee Craig Pawson felt giving a penalty was the correct decision.

Joao Felix had given Chelsea the lead early in the first half guiding home an Enzo Fernandez cross, before Emerson Palmieri equalised for the Hammers against his old club. The Blues had two goals disallowed in the first half with Soucek also seeing what he thought was a late winner ruled out for offside.
