Chelsea boss Tuchel blames bus, others for 3-0 loss at Leeds

Thomas Tuchel has said “everything went wrong” on Sunday as Chelsea lost 3-0 to Leeds, adding that the problems started with pre-match bus transportation.

He blamed several culprits for his side’s below par outing, starting with the journey to Leeds.

“Everything that can go wrong, did go wrong,” he told BBC Sport. “It started yesterday. We had no plane to arrive so we came on the bus. The players could fly but for the coaching staff it was a long ride on the bus.

“It continued today. We lost the game in the first 20 minutes, where we were clearly better and had huge chances. A lot of touches in the box but we missed the target and did not take what we deserved. We then stopped doing what we were doing good and it was even for 15 minutes and in those we gave two presents.”

A howler from goalkeeper Edouard Mendy gifted midfielder Aaronson the opener, before Rodrigo grabbed his fourth goal in three games to double the lead before half-time.

Chelsea struggled to gain any momentum at any point, and Jack Harrison added to the pile on the misery.

Kalidou Koulibaly then saw red with five minutes to go, capping off what was a disastrous afternoon for the Blues.
