TUCHEL RAPS SLACK BLUES

THOMAS TUCHEL is still unbeaten as Chelsea's boss but it did not feel like it after this setback. Despite staying fourth in the table the German deemed it two points lost in the bid for Champions League football.

SOUTHAMPTON ..... 1 CHELSEA ............. 1

Mason Mount rescued them with a penalty after on-loan Liverpool ace Takumi Minamino had put Southampton ahead.

But Tuchel, who brought on Callum Hudson-Odoi at the break only to sub him 30 minutes later, fumed: “Clearly, this is a missed opportunity. We had the chance to make another win and it would have been deserved.

“But we were good for 80 meters but in the last 20, I was not happy. We weren’t decisive enough and our decision-making wasn’t good enough.

“Conceding that goal wasn’t a problem for me but in the attack, we were sloppy and missed the aggression to finish the game.”
