Graham Potter felt his sacking as Chelsea head coach, after just seven months in charge, was unfair and he left Stamford Bridge once again with a burning sense of injustice.

Chelsea back into top four after beating West Ham and former boss Graham Potter - Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s own-goal in the 74th minute, from Cole Palmer’s effort, was enough to seal victory for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
