Chelsea head coach Graham Potter spoke of his relief after securing three points in a tight 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Potter has been under pressure after a lacklustre start to his tenure but Kai Havertz headed in the winning goal in the 64th minute in front of Chelsea’s latest signing, Ukraine winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who was paraded on the field at half time.
It was a poignant day in west London as Chelsea paid tribute to former striker Gianluca Vialli, who died this month at the age of 58, before the match with a host of the Italian’s former teammates returning to pay their respects.
