'Full credit': Pochettino delivers verdict on Petrovic

"He’s doing fantastic," Mauricio Pochettino said when asked to rate the performances of Djordje Petrovic between the posts for Chelsea.

"I think we need to give full credit because he arrived this season at Chelsea from the MLS.

"He’s really young and he’s performing well. I think the way he is behaving in the goal, it shows his quality and his character is amazing. I think he’s doing an amazing job."

Petrovic needed to step up after Robert Sanchez picked up an injury that sidelined him for over a month.

Now, the Spaniard faces a tough job on his hands if he wants to reclaim the No.1 role, with Petrovic winning widespread support among fans.
