Chelsea’s home defeat to Aston Villa today was the result of an unwelcome concentration lapse according to Graham Potter. Unai Emery’s side claimed all three points courtesy of goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn, despite the Blues having 27 shots at goal in contrast to Villa’s five.
Potter said:
'‘In both boxes we were second best, Potter explained after the game. ‘The first goal for them is disappointing and we need to do better. There were a lot of good things in the game, a lot of attacking play, entries and a lot of shots. If you look at the stats, it was positive.
'‘The boys gave everything in the game. Their intentions were there, they showed personality and tried. Ultimately, you need to defend better than we did. I am responsible for that, and we will look at it and do better.
'‘We started well in the second half, but then one action sees the ball back up our end and then it is a great strike from McGinn. Ultimately, the most important stat is the defeat. We have to accept it and work hard to put things right.’'
Today’s defeat marks Chelsea’s fourth at home this season, and Potter’s comments have made it clear he wants a better concentration level throughout the team to ensure they have more success going forward.
