It's been four days since Chelsea were run off the park at Elland Road as part of a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Leeds United. The home side ran 11 kilometres more than Thomas Tuchel's men as mistakes and sloppiness crept into their game as a result, ending in the heavy defeat.
It wasn't a sentiment that the manager fully agreed with though, believing his side were the better but gave away some soft goals. "Because we scored an own goal, gave an awfully cheap set-piece away, and conceded from it. This has nothing to do with pressing, running fewer kilometres, nothing to do with the style of Leeds. We should not confuse these things," said Tuchel.
"We were able to cope with the style, be the better team, be one or two goals ahead, but we give an own goal away, and the set-piece has nothing to do with anything. From there, it's 2-0, and the belief for Leeds is on top level and our body language, even in the ten minutes before, was not what it was like in the last match."
