Potter magic could prove a real knockout

GRAHAM POTTER'S redemption ride can hit full speed if Sweden take down the Netherlands in Houston tonight.

- FROM JEREMY CROSS in Houston

Potter had a lot in common with the team he took charge of last October, with both in need of a major reset.

Fast forward eight months and Potter is on the brink of leading the Swedes into the World Cup knockout stage.

Job done? Not for the ambitious Potter, it won't be.

Although his personal rehabilitation must feel close to being complete, following painful spells in charge of Chelsea and then West Ham.

Potter lasted six months at Stamford Bridge - and just two months longer with the Hammers.
