Chelsea bounced back to winning ways after defeating AFC Bournemouth in a 2-0 victory and keeping a clean sheet. Graham Potter’s men registered their first league match since October when they defeated Aston Villa.
The Blues looked lively today unlike a few weeks ago when they were struggling to score goals and register wins. They produced great attacking football which saw them have 15 goal attempts in attempts in the match.
Germany forward Kai Havertz gave the Blues the lead 16 minutes into the match from a close-range finish. Mason Mount scored Chelsea’s second goal of the match with a spectacular low finish in the bottom which saw the Blues end up securing the three points.
Chelsea continued creating a lot of chances, especially in the second half but they couldn’t score the third goal despite having some amazing forwards in the game.
Graham Potter is getting his tactics right after struggling for several weeks and the players are slowly fitting into his system well. In today’s game, Potter brought Christian Pulisic into the starting eleven and he had some outstanding displays in the match.
The United States star might have failed to have a goal or an assist in the game but his impact in the game was undoubtedly amazing. He had a good performance down the left wing with his cheeky runs, dribbles, and creating chances for his teammates.
Since he has a good display in the World Cup, Pulisic has been different and he has kept on Getty better. Graham Potter has started believing in him and we might see him start more often in the coming months.
