Chelsea stopped the rot for Graham Potter, albeit perhaps temporarily, with a 1-0 victory over Leeds at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues had only scored once in their previous six games going into the clash with Javi Gracia's side, but Wesley Fofana's goal eight minutes after the restart ensured the pressure was lifted somewhat.
Winning their first game for well over a month, Stamford Bridge reacted with more warmth than in recent times to Potter and his side.
Leeds, meanwhile, were plunged into further peril by the result which leaves them in 17th, just one point clear of Everton in 18th.
