Chelsea boss, Graham Potter has singled out youngster, Lewis Hall for praise after their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, describing him as ‘fantastic’.
Potter said that despite the defeat, there was ‘a lot to like’ from the Blues’ display as they crashed out of the Carabao Cup.
Hall, 18, made his second senior start on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium.
Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez scored in the second half to help Pep Guardiola’s side qualify for the fourth round of the competition.
Reacting to Hall’s performance, Potter told Sky Sports: “Lewis Hall did brilliantly. Fantastic performance. Great quality, great effort. You can see he can take the ball, He took responsibility.
“Putting the ball in the net is the hardest thing and that’s all he didn’t do today but everything he did was fantastic.”
The defeat to City means Chelsea have now lost three of their last four games, with their only win being against Dinamo Zagreb in a Champions League dead rubber.
