Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has reacted to his side 1-1 draw vs Brighton on Wednesday night in the EPL.

Tuchel, in his statement, hit out at officials and the Premier League fixture list for his side poor efforts.

The game against Brighton saw Romelu Lukaku put Chelsea in the lead with an early header.

However, towards the end of the game, Danny Welbeck then came off the bench to score an equaliser for Brighton.

Speaking after the game at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel said: “A draw about right? Absolutely not. We had the better chances and a clear penalty. Very disappointing and very frustrating.

“If the ref does not want to give a penalty when it is a clear 100% penalty. Everything against us.

“100% it is a penalty, you ask the ref not me.”

Chelsea will return to action during the weekend when they face Liverpool in another herculean match.
