Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has vented his frustration that the Premier League hasn’t yet returned to allowing five substitutions amid the current Covid-stricken schedule. The German boss listed ‘concerns’ he has among his squad, despite their 3-1 win at Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
On the half-hour mark, Matt Targett’s whipped cross deflected off Reece James’ head, beating Edouard Mendy and sending Villa Park into a frenzy.
But the hosts’ lead didn’t last long, with Matty Cash fouling Callum Hudson-Odoi inside the box and Jorginho equalising from the penalty spot just six minutes later.
Lukaku’s half-time introduction changed the game, and a clever piece of movement inside the box helped him head Chelsea into the lead 10 minutes into the second half.
The 28-year-old then showcased his pace and power in stoppage time, winning his side’s second spot-kick of the game, which Jorginho made no mistake in netting again.
