  • Chelsea beat Leicester City 3-1 away at the King Power Stadium to continue their winning run
  • Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic were on the scoresheet for the Blues
  • Graham Potter's post-match interview has got the fans talking about the manager's vocabulary

Chelsea won their first away game since October and three games on the bounce for the first time since October, which has undoubtedly relieved pressure on head coach Graham Potter.

The Blues had a very disciplined performance both in defence and in attack, even though there is still room for improvement, particularly with beating offside traps and converting chances.

Former fox Ben Chilwell scored the opener, and another former player Wesley Fofana almost scored only to see his head saved by Dan Ward. Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic scored the other goals.

Potter: they gave everything

During Chelsea's poor run of form, the problems emanated from the inability of the attack to score goals, and the defensive display under the leadership of Thiago Silva was solid.

As noted on Premier League, the Blues have nine clean sheets, three behind Newcastle United, who have the most in the league with twelve.

Potter reflected on this after the third straight win. Speaking to Premier League Productions after the match, he praised the defensive display.

''Our defensive record has been good. In terms of goals conceded in the Premier League, we are up there. But it is about balance in defence and attack, we have not got that completely right,'' he said.
''But the mentality is strong in the team. They give everything.''

Fans react to Potter's comments

The former Brighton manager's favourite phrase is they give everything, even when the team was experiencing poor results. Fans have now urged their manager to change his vocabulary.

Potter praises Enzo and Mudryk

Sports Brief earlier reported that Potter praised two January signings, Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk, after their performances against Leicester City.

The duo contributed an assist each after costing Chelsea a combined €221m in the winter transfer window contributing to more than 60% of the window's spending.
