The win against Brendan Rodgers’ team coincidentally ended their worst away run since the 2001-2002 season, prior to today- they had not won any of their last 10 away games in the league.
The pressure valves are now really beginning to loosen for Potter and he admits it’s been a good week even though his main focus has always been to keep the team focused and working towards improving results.

Despite the first back-to-back league league wins of the year, Chelsea still remain 10th on the league table, but have closed the gap on ninth place Brenford to just one point ahead of next weekend’s home game against Everton.
They will then take on Aston Villa before hosting Liverpool for what is expected to be one of the games of the season at Stamford Bridge.
