The Chelsea players suffered a defeat for the second time this season from Manchester City, which is now 13 points away and is convincingly first on the Premier League table.
Kevin De Bruyne judged his former club, when he launched a rocket into the Blues’ net in the 70th minute, for the last victory of the Citizens who deservedly celebrated at the Etihad.
Chelsea struggled for most of the game to compete with Pep Guardiola’s team and did not create many opportunities. After the match, Thomas Tuchel expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance of his attackers, and especially did not refrain from talking about the performance of Romelu Lukaku:
-Lukaku sometimes needs to find his teammates, he is involved in this, he had a lot of ball losses in very promising circumstances and he had a huge chance. Of course, we want to help him on the field, but he is part of the team, and with the performance ahead, we can do much better.
Lukaku and the German expert are not on the best of terms after the controversial interview that the Belgian conducted with Sky Sports a few weeks ago. Lukaku has scored five goals and one assist in the Premier League this season.
