The Blues collected an important three points in the south-west London derby as the race for a top-four finish heads into the final weeks, with Tuchel also able to rest the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic ahead of Wednesday’s European decider against the Spanish giants.

As a result of those changes, the boss admitted it was ‘not our brightest game’ but the rotation and result will no doubt have pleased him.
