Graham Potter: Chelsea Boss Admonishes Brighton Fans After He Received Boos on His Return

• Brighton and Hove Albion fans welcomed their former manager Graham Potter with loud boos when he took his new Chelsea side for an EPL game at the Amex Stadium
• Former defender and Brighton's player of the season Marc Cucurella was also booed every time he touched the ball
• Potter has now reiterated that he has no regrets whatsoever about the decision he made to swap the South Coast for London

Chelsea boss Graham Potter got a rude welcome on his first return to the Amex Stadium to face his former side, Brighton and Hove Albion.

Potter ditched Brighton for Chelsea seven weeks ago to take over the vacant position left by Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked.

He experienced the worst possible start as his Chelsea side went 2-0 down inside the first 15 minutes. Leandro Trossard scored from a tight angle, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek deflected the ball inside his own net.

Potter's misery was further compounded just before halftime courtesy of another own goal from Trevoh Chalobah.

Brighton held on for a huge win

Chelsea had brief hopes of a comeback as Kai Havertz grabbed a consolation goal just after half-time. However, Brighton held on to record Roberto De Zerbi's first win as Potter's successor, with Pascal Gross grabbing a late fourth.

Potter was treated to boos at the Amex Stadium. Speaking after the game, Potter responded that:

"I have nothing to apologise or say sorry for. I think I did a good job at the club and left it in a good place but people are entitled to their opinions," as reported by Absolute Chelsea.
