Chelsea manager Graham Potter is facing a fight to keep his job at Stamford Bridge as pressure mounts on the coach during a difficult patch of form in his tenure. The former Brighton boss saw his side's dismal run without a win extend at the weekend as they fell to a defeat at the hands of London rivals Tottenham.
The first half played out a fiery encounter as brawls broke out across the pitch, with plenty of confusion around a potential sending off for Hakim Ziyech that was overturned. While it was goalless at the break, Oliver Skipp's long-range strike minutes into the second half opened proceedings before Harry Kane's simple finish from a corner succumbed the Blues to defeat.
"My job isn’t to worry about that too much," Potter responded after the game when asked about his future. "I understand the question and where it comes from, but I have to try to focus on keeping on helping the team and supporting the players. I really like these players, they’re good lads. They want to do better and want to win. But at the moment we’re suffering and that is my responsibility."
