Chelsea boss Graham Potter has revealed how Chelsea players reacted to the 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday.

Following the defeat to Southampton, Potter spent much time in the dressing room with the players before attending his post-match press conference.

Potter has insisted there was no dressing room row following the defeat to Southampton on Saturday.

Asked if there was a dressing room row following the defeat to Southampton, Potter said:  “There is no conspiracy, I can’t give you that.

“There is a lot of media and I believe my colleague has done the media before me. I always come in and speak to you guys, understand the questions, and when we’ve lost 1-0 at home to Southampton, with the greatest respect to them, it is not good enough because of the results we’ve had recently.

“The first half is as much my responsibility as anybody’s because the performance wasn’t good. I thought the second-half performance was better and we deserved to score. If we do that, the game changes around. But 1-0 isn’t good and we’re disappointed with that.”
