Conor Gallagher left Thomas Tuchel furious as new boy Raheem Sterling scored twice to ensure the 10 men claimed a battling 2-1 win over Leicester at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea managed to beat Brendan Rodgers’ side, despite playing the majority of the game with a numerical disadvantage after Gallagher was dismissed in the 28th minute. The midfielder picked up two yellow cards in quick succession for fouls on Harvey Barnes which could easily have cost his side.
Tuchel, who was forced to sit in the stands due to a one-man touchline ban, did not go easy on the 22-year-old in his post-match press conference. "Today he is responsible for what he did. Of course, he knows it was a huge mistake. We spoke briefly after the game and things like this can happen,” Tuchel said. “It's not purely his fault alone because it's a set-piece for us and it's sloppy how we take set-pieces at the moment.
