Chelsea boss Potter: Leeds win brought smiles back

Chelsea boss Graham Potter admits their feelings are more relief than joy after winning a Premier League game at the weekend.

The Blues are in the midst of a miserable run of form, but got a 1-0 home success over Leeds United.

As they prepare to take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Potter spoke with reporters about the previous game.

He stated: “The mood has been positive throughout. Not happy, joking and smiling, but there has been a support for each other and a good atmosphere. At the same time, you have to take responsibility that we were not in a good place results perspective. When you win a game, your smile comes back."

He added on the Dortmund clash: “The position we're in, you should always welcome the pressure because it means you're in a fantastic situation, which is to compete in the last eight of the Champions League. It was a special occasion in Dortmund and I'm sure it will be the same at Stamford Bridge tomorrow. We're looking forward to playing the game and competing to go through."
