Chelsea owner Todd Boehly gave a blunt verdict on their crucial Premier League win over Leeds United to relieve the pressure on under-fire head coach Graham Potter. The American billionaire was spotted in the stands watching on at Stamford Bridge and his plain three-word response summarised the low mood at the club after another below-par performance, albeit with a much-improved result.
The Blues finally ended their long wait for a goal after going five games without scoring, with Wesley Fofana heading home from a Ben Chilwell corner on 52 minutes.
That proved to be enough for the west London club to clinch their first three points since Boxing Day to ease the burden on Potter.
However, Boehly did not appear to be overly impressed with the team’s performance after catching the game on Saturday afternoon. And the American gave a blunt response when asked for his thoughts on their display when leaving the stadium.
A reporter for Sky Sports asked Boehly: “Did you enjoy that today?” to which the mega-rich owner replied: “It’s a result.”
It was far from a straightforward win for the hosts, however, as Leeds pressed for an equaliser and had several chances to level the score in the second half.
But the victory will do wonders to their confidence ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
