UCL: Potter reacts as Chelsea end RB Salzburg 40 matches unbeaten run

Chelsea were impressive in Austria on Tuesday in the UCL as they ended RB Salzburg 40-game unbeaten run on home soil.

The Blues won the game by a 2-1 scoreline, which means they will finish top of their group.

The duo Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz scored the two goals Chelsea need to secure their win.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter spoke on the team’s collective performance and was full of praises for his players.

‘That was a fantastic performance from the players,’ the head coach enthused.

‘It took real courage as you could feel the atmosphere. It was so intense. We controlled their pressure well. It’s not easy to win here as you can see from the record they have. We had to play well.

‘We were a bit disappointed to only be one goal up at half-time. One mistake and action resulted in a goal, and that can happen at this level. Our response was really good. I’m delighted to go through with a game to spare considering where we started the competition.’
