Prior to the appointment of Graham Potter as the manager of Chelsea, he was the coach of Brighton. Meanwhile, the English tactician has played against the London outfit six times. How did the matches go?
The first encounter of the former Swansea boss was on September 28, 2019. Potter took the Seagulls on a trip to Stamford Bridge for a match day 7 game with Chelsea. The Blues, under the tutelage of Frank Lampard (Potter’s Compatriot) won the game courtesy of goals from second half goals from two Brazilians – Jorge Luz Frello Filho (aka Jorginho) and Willian Borges da Silva (aka Willian). In their second encounter, the 47-year-old Graham escaped with a draw after substitute Alizera Jahanbakhs netted an 87th minute equalizer for Brighton.
Potter opened the 2020/21 season with a clash with Lampard’s Chelsea. The former Blues star outwitted the 2017 Swedish Cup winner The match ended with the Seagulls losing 3-1 at home. By the time they would clash at Stamford Bridge again, Chelsea had changed manager. This time, Graham was able to keep the hosts at bay. His strategy prevented Thomas Tuchel (who had taken over management) from scoring any goal. Therefore, the game ended in a barren draw.
Last season, Brighton (under the direction of Potter) held the Blues to one-all draws on two occasions. Thus, we can easily say that the new Chelsea boss has not lost any game to his predecessor.
Now that this Englishman has elite stars, will he be able to perform exploits? Time will tell.
