Chelsea returned back to winning ways in midweek with a 2-1 victory over RB Salzburg in the Champions League on Tuesday. Goals from Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz saw the side edge past their Austrian opposition and continue their run under head coach Graham Potter.
The win saw Potter's men qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare, a total turnaround from their opening two games that saw them earn only one point. “It’s a top competition," The manager said on his side making it through. "It’s amazing and fantastic to be involved in, a real test against some fantastic team and a great experience coming to these venues and experiencing an away match in the Champions League. It’s tough and challenging, but I’ve really enjoyed it.”
However, attention turns back to the Premier League, where the Blues sit fifth with a game in hand after an ideal start to life under Potter. Two draws on the bounce may mean that there's more pressure when they face Brighton and Hove Albion at the weekend.
