The Chelsea manager criticised how his defence conceded a second from a free-kick as in the 3-0 defeat at Elland Road
Minutes later Raheem Sterling conceded a free-kick near his area and from it Rodrigo out-jumped Reece James to double the lead, before Jack Harrison completed the win in the second half. Kalidou Koulibaly was sent off late on for the visitors.
Tuchel denied that Leeds’s pressing and their collective running of 11km more was the deciding factor. “We scored an own goal and gave an awfully cheap set-piece and conceded from a set‑piece. It is nothing to do with pressing, nothing to do with running less kilometres and nothing to do with the style of Leeds. We were able to be the better team.
Tuchel wants to buy the Leicester defender Wesley Fofana to stiffen the rearguard. He was asked about signing another centre-back. “The transfer period is still open and it gets later and later and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do,” the German said.
