Tuchel speaks on Mendy’s error, Kalidou’s red card vs Leeds United

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, in a post-match statement spoke on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy’s error during their 3-0 defeat in the Premier League to Leeds United on Sunday.

Tuchel also gave his verdict on defender Kalidou Koulibaly’s red card against Leeds.

The Blues were unable to score at least one goal as Leeds scored three goals thanks to Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo Moreno and Jack Harrison to claim all three points from the match.

One of the goals came after Aaronson capitalised on Mendy’s mistake and Rodrigo headed in from a free-kick, while Koulibaly got a second-half red card.

Speaking on Mendy’s error, Tuchel said “He knows himself. With these kinds of mistakes, we don’t have to speak a lot. It’s a huge mistake at a crucial time in the match. It does not help and he’s the one who is most disappointed.”

Asked if Koulibaly’s red card was fair, Tuchel added, “We cannot get frustrated in Premier League games. It should be pure joy to play in an atmosphere like this.”
