Potter on Chelsea loss to Arsenal

Chelsea for the second time in a row suffered a defeat in the EPL as Arsenal won by a goal in their recent match at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal won all three points at Stamford Bridge to remain at the top of the league table thanks to a goal from Gabriel Magalhaes.

The weekend match showed as Chelsea struggled to sustain the pressure from Arsenal who Potter pointing said benefited from momentum and cohesion.

‘We played against a team in a really good moment and a confident team, so credit to them,’ reflected Potter shortly after the final whistle.

‘The boys gave everything. We got into a few situations into the box but we missed that last little bit and overall Arsenal deserved to win. The goal is disappointing and over the course of the game, we don’t have too many complaints at the result.

‘We have to look at where the two teams are at. Arsenal are in a good moment and have worked together for a long time. We’re in different phase.

‘We lacked quality but the effort was there and we were beaten by the better team today. ‘We huffed and puffed but you could see the difference between the two teams in terms of confidence, structure and work together.

‘We’re not in a fantastic moment as we speak and in the end Arsenal deserved to win because they were the better team overall. We have to take that and use it as motivation to improve.’
