Graham Potter getting a good response from Chelsea players such as Armando Broja despite having to make difficult selection choices.

The 47-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge to replace German manager Thomas Tuchel just over a month ago.

After a loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League the decision was made and since Potter has come in things have improved.

The Blues had got off to a relatively slow start, losing to both Leeds United and Southampton away from home in the Premier League.

Currently, the new head coach is unbeaten in his first four games, winning three and drawing once.

All three of his wins as boss have come in this past week and has seen the west London side edge their way into the top four.

Last weekend, Chelsea scored a last minute winner against Crystal Palace, courtesy of Conor Gallagher.

In midweek, there was a visit from AC Milan, who were comfortably swept aside 3-0 by the Blues.

On Saturday the perfect week was completed with another 3-0 victory, this time coming against a manager-less Wolves team.

Kai Havertz opened the scoring at the end of the first half, and then Christian Pulisic added a second after Mason Mount slid him in behind.

In the 90th minute, Broja finished off the rout and scored his first ever goal for the club.

The Albanian was delighted and following the match he spoke to Chelsea TV about life under Potter.

He said: "He's come in, new, still getting to talk with each other. He seems like a very good guy, easy to talk to and get along with.

"He's always encouraging and comes up to the players. If you ever need help, he will speak to you and help you out.

Broja continued: "He's always telling me to be hard-working and for the opportunities I get, try to help out the team as much as possible.

"Even when you come on you don't always get the opportunities to score, but when you work hard, press, help the team out as much as possible, it doesn't go unnoticed.

"Amazing that the manager trusts me to come on have the opportunity to impact games. I try to help out as much as possible."

So while Broja may not be the number one option for Chelsea at the moment, what he says demonstrates what a good job Potter is doing managing the players.

For the striker patience is key, and if he keeps performing in the manner he is from the bench, he knows he will get more opportunities.
