Chelsea 10-minute FA Cup audition proves Thomas Tuchel's big confusion ahead of Burnley test

The 10-minutes at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday that saw Chelsea confirm their place in the last eight of the FA Cup so perfectly encapsulated why the Blues attack has been so confusing to assess this year.

Both Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku scored, two players heavily maligned and out of form combining for the Belgian's finish with 12 minutes of normal time remaining.

But up until that point, little could have indicated this sudden spark of inspiration. Both had frustrating evenings aside from those 10 minutes. Goals have been severely lacking in Chelsea's attack, so Thomas Tuchel can be thankful he did not have to rely on his defenders to bail him out of a potential cup upset.
