How much Graham Potter's win percentage at Chelsea jumped with Leeds victory
Graham Potter picked up a desperately needed 1-0 win against Leeds, and it's done his Chelsea record the world of good.
He was brought in from Brighton to make the west London club title challengers again, but they've only gone backwards under his management.
With over half of their Premier League matches already played, the Blues are a long way off of a top four spot and are in danger of missing out on European football altogether next season.
He headed into the match with Leeds with one of the worst records a Chelsea manager has ever had in terms of win percentage, but how does it look after the narrow victory?
What was Graham Potter's win percentage at Chelsea before the win against Leeds?
The manager of a club as big as Chelsea is expected to claim victory in the majority of matches, but Potter headed into the match with Leeds with a win percentage well below 51%.
In fact, the Englishman had only just managed to win a third of the matches he'd taken charge of since replacing Thomas Tuchel, boasting a record of just under 35%. To put that into context, Tuchel was sacked by the club for winning 50% of the six matches he took charge of at the start of the season.
Going by that statistic, it was the worst start a manager had made to life at Chelsea in 30 years, since Glenn Hoddle was in charge.
Given that, there was a huge amount of pressure on Potter with many feeling he'd suffer the same fate if he failed to beat Leeds.

How much did Graham Potter's win percentage improve with the win against Leeds?
Ultimately, Potter was able to lead his side to victory at Stamford Bridge with Wesley Fofana scoring the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute.
It was his 10th win as Chelsea manager with him also losing 10 and drawing seven matches during his time in charge.
The victory boosted his win percentage by just over 2%, taking it to 37%, which is better but still not good enough for a club of Chelsea's calibre.
To end the season being able to say he won the majority of matches he took charge of in his first campaign in the job, he'd have to take his team on quite the run of form.
