Pundits agree with verdict on 'balanced' Graham Potter after Chelsea defeat vs Arsenal

Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the London Derby at Stamford Bridge this afternoon (Sunday) after Gabriel Magalhaes poked home a second-half winner.

The Blues struggled to control the game with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being met with boos throughout the game before being substituted after failing to make an impact as he faced his former side for the first time since leaving the Emirates Stadium. Graham Potter's side have now suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time during his tenure with the Blues' form dipping after a positive start.

Chelsea had to deal with a number of injury issues heading into the London Derby after Potter confirmed the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell were all ruled out. The defeat was a painful one for Chelsea supporters and Potter now needs to find a fix ahead of the World Cup break.
