Chelsea boss Potter praises Hutchinson after Aston Villa friendly defeat

Chelsea boss Graham Potter was delighted with Omari Hutchinson's showing in their Dubai defeat to Aston Villa.

The Blues were beaten by a strike by John McGinn but Potter was nonetheless impressed with how a young team competed against a strong Villa side.

And Potter had words of praise for young attacker Hutchinson, who shone against Villa and almost scored a sublime goal when he fired against the woodwork in the first half.

"He was really good, dangerous and asked a question all the time," he said.

"Throughout the game he showed his quality but he wasn't the only one. It was a spirited performance with a lot of young players so it was good."
