Potter explains Gallagher's early substitution against Brentford

Chelsea's four-game Premier League winning run came came to end on Wednesday in a goalless London derby against Brentford.

Chelsea

failed to create many dangerous chances against Thomas Frank's side and only had five shots on target and three of them came after the 85th minute.

Graham Potter in his press conference after the match told reporters:

“I thought over the course of the game, a point was fair. They had chances, and we had chances. We pushed and pushed at the end. Probably, more likely at the end to score, but at the same time, over the course of the game, a point was about right.

“They make it very difficult for you to control. They do what they do really well. Use the front two, set pieces, long throws, balls into the box, and long balls that make it unstable. I have full respect for them, and how they do that, they do it really well. Not easy. It's another clean sheet for us. The positives are a clean sheet and a point. That's four points from two away matches which is positive. When we did control it, we did it quite well, but it's a point, and we have to move on.”

Conor Gallagher

left the pitch just 15 minutes into the game and Potter revealed that he made the change because the midfielder felt ill.

“I haven't spoken to the doctor, but he just felt ill. He felt like he was going to be sick. You could probably see that in his first 15 minutes, he wasn't quite himself, so hopefully, it's just a 24-hour thing, and he will be okay. Obviously, that probably affected him and us a little bit, but hopefully, he recovers quickly.”

Chelsea is in fourth place with 20 points after 10 matches. They will face Manchester United at home on Saturday.
