The Eldridge CEO is reportedly one of Potter's backbones in the Chelsea board, which had prevented the former Brighton manager from facing the sack when results went downward, as reported by BBC Sports.

CBS Sports Golazo spotted him rushing down the tunnel at Stamford Bridge last night to embrace the manager with a bottle of beer in his hand.

Thiago Silva's wife chants his name

It was love galore in the director's box and VIP box at Stamford Bridge. Injured defender Thiago Silva was in attendance, and his wife, Belle Silva, uploaded a video of the two on Instagram.

The video re-shared on Twitter by Frank Khalid had Belle chanting her husband's name; 'Thiago Silva, he came from PSG to win the champions league.'

Chelsea fans chant Bellingham's name

Real Madrid are reportedly leading the race to sign Bellingham, but Todd Boehly has shown that he can do all it takes to land his targets with the recent acquisition of €121m Enzo Fernandez.
