Ruben Loftus-Cheek leaps to the defence of 'fantastic' Graham Potter after win over Leeds... with the midfielder insisting Chelsea players 'owe it to the manager to perform' amid poor form this season

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has leapt to the defence of ‘fantastic’ Graham Potter.

Midfielder Loftus-Cheek admits Chelsea have been ‘mediocre’ recently and their players are in debt to under-fire head coach Potter for defending them amid the flak flying their way due to the poor form.

Loftus-Cheek’s words back up Potter’s insistence that he has the support of his players, even if faith maybe fading in other quarters.

Potter has also been adamant that talk means little and it is actions that count, making their dogged performance and result in edging out Leeds more significant.
