West Ham United stunned Premier League leaders Chelsea with a 3-2 victory after coming from behind twice before substitute Arthur Masuaku won it late on.
The win ensures the Hammers will remain in the top four whatever happens elsewhere in the Premier League this weekend.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, speaking to Match of the Day. “This is a goal that OK, happens, it happens because it happens, there are no mistakes, just a freak goal – the problem is that it is the winner.
“We had too many mistakes before in our game because the performance was OK, we created half chances and were in control. Overall we did too many individual mistakes. If you do this for three consecutive games you cannot expect always to get a result.
“This will not change, the schedule is the schedule and we need to overcome tiredness, mentally and physically, otherwise we have an excuse. We did not get a gift today from West Ham and they also played Europa League in between.
“The schedule we play and effort we play, sometimes you feel tired, but you just need to accept it and control our risk management. We hate to lose, we have to digest it now. It is not a performance to be mad about, but in detail we need to be better again.
“If we won the game nobody would have given us the title and if we lose it I don’t think anybody else gets it this weekend.”Article Reactions
