According to The Sun, the west Londoners managed to stage a thrilling performance to see off their German opponents and book a spot in the next round.

A goal each on either side of the first half from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz was all the Blues needed to secure a 2-0 win at home.

Sterling opened the scoring for the hosts in the closing stages of the first half, before Havertz doubled the advantage shortly after the break from the penalty spot.

The German forward was allowed a second chance at the spot kick after seeing the first effort thump back off the base of the post, before it was cleared away.

The VAR ordered the kick be retaken after determining Dortmund players had encroached, with Havertz making no mistake the second time.

Potter's actions did not go down well with a section of Chelsea fans, as some accused him of having a weak mentality.

One said:

"Potter ain't made out for that club; the guy couldn't even watch - soft manager."

A second added:

"Why didn’t Potter watch the penalty, this guy, man"

Another posted:

"Graham Potter can’t even bear to watch the penalty - what a chump."
