Carabao League: We were strong against Tottenham – Tuchel

Chelsea manager and Germany international Thomas Tuchel has revealed that his side were the stronger side against Tottenham in the Carabao League on Wednesday night.

The Blues last night hosted the Hotspurs in the first leg of the semi-final, which ended in a 2-0 win for the Blues.

Tuchel, in his statement, believed the Blues could have scored more goals against the Antonio Conte’s led Tottenham squad.

“We could’ve created a bigger cushion. Yes, it was possible. We created a lot and were very strong because it is so hard to create against Tottenham as we’ve seen in the last few games.

“In the second half, we created a lot, big chances to have a third or fourth goal. Everybody knows the game isn’t decided and we have to arrive at full focus and top shape again.

“We will need another 90 minutes of top-quality football if we want to go through to Wembley.”

The victory means Chelsea have an edge against Tottenham when they meet for the second leg as it would be tough for the Hotspur to equalise against the Blues.
