In his post-match comments, Chelsea Boss Thomas Tuchel said: "We scored the goal and I had the feeling that they increased the risk, but we stepped down in the little decisions.

"Not enough courage and it was too deep for a long, long time. We clearly can play better, so yes I expected more but not in terms that I am frustrated.

"We can do better but I don't want to be too hard on the players."
