Cole: Chelsea victory will ease pressure on Potter

Chelsea manager Graham Potter could have saved his job for the moment.

The Blues have gone through a mini resurgence in the past few days under Potter.

They beat Leeds United 1-0 in the Premier League at the weekend, a much needed win.

Now they have defeated Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16, going through 2-1 on aggregate.

“Huge, season-defining 45 minutes," ex-England star Joe Cole said on BT Sport at half time of the Champions League tie.

“I think Chelsea win tonight and that man there on your screen (Graham Potter) can have another three or four weeks and get the lads at it. It can change his career and also Chelsea's season."
