Chelsea news: Graham Potter set to make Romelu Lukaku call as Conor Gallagher thrives

Chelsea enjoyed a productive few days this weekend as new boss Graham Potter secured his first Premier League win in charge of the Blues.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Conor Gallagher both scored for the Blues as they came from behind to win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The win leaves Chelsea sitting fifth in the Premier League table, with plenty of reaction having followed from the Blues’ victory across the capital.

With that being said, here are the best Chelsea headlines from Mirror Sport from over the last 24 hours including news on a potential Stamford Bridge returnee next summer.

Gallagher reacts to Palace winner

Gallagher has admitted that his winning strike against Crystal Palace was ‘a bit jammy’ having stolen the headlines against his former club.

The Cobham academy prospect was on hand to secure the three points for the Blues but seemingly did not intend his finish.

Speaking after the game, he said: "I got a bit jammy to be honest, because it went through JP's (Mateta's) legs. I didn't mean to, I didn’t know he was there. I'm just buzzing it went in."

Fans lash out at Thiago Silva decision

Whilst Chelsea were left smiling as they departed Selhurst Park yesterday, all was seemingly not well with opposition supporters claiming that Blues defender Thiago Silva should have been sent off earlier in the game.

The Brazilian centre-back appeared to stick an arm out to prevent Jordan Ayew from earning a free run towards the Chelsea goal but was only punished with a yellow card from official Chris Kavanagh.

"Can someone explain to me how Thiago Silva wasn't sent off?" one supporter asked after the final whistle.

Potter set to make Lukaku call

New Chelsea manager Potter is apparently willing to offer Blues misfit Romelu Lukaku a route back into his plans at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian striker was allowed to rejoin former side Inter Milan on a season-long loan in the summer following an underwhelming season in West London.

As per reports, Potter will hold talks with Lukaku and has not ruled out the option of welcoming him back to the club once his spell back in Italy ends.
