Tuchel has gone 10 games unbeaten as Chelsea manager and a win over Everton on the next fixture would increase chances of overtaking Leicester City.
It’s clear the win last night came as a major boost to their UCL Qualification hopes but according to the manager, rejoicing over an already won game won’t do any better than the already secured 3 points.
Speaking after the game Tuchel said; “We didn’t think this way. We have already been in the top four after a win against Newcastle and we cannot lose the focus by looking at fixtures all the time, it does not help.
