'We can't feel sorry for ourselves!': Graham Potter insists his Chelsea squad MUST re-group after falling to a 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa... as Blues boss admits his struggling side must 'do better'

Graham Potter has claimed that Chelsea 'can't feel sorry' for themselves after their 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa.

The Blues boss watched on as his side were beaten by Unai Emery's visitors thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn either side of half-time.

Chelsea seemed to be on the ascension prior to the international break but this result has sent them back down to earth, as the visitors overtook them in the table.

Potter, who will be well aware of the mounting pressure in west London, remained defiant in his post-match interview and suggested they must 'do better'.
